CBC will meet in regular session May 26, 2011 at 9AM. Here is the agenda.
The City Council will meet in Special Session on Monday at 9AM. Here is that agenda. It will consist of the second public hearing for areas being annexed and two other items.
From Steve Jones:
We have posted our capital improvements plan on the City website and are soliciting comments on it. We are also asking for input from the public for additional projects that they feel are important. We will use several avenues to direct residents to the website such as email lists, Joe Bain’s blog (if he permits), and mailers. After gathering the comments, I would like to hold a public hearing and an internet survey to identify public support for the various projects. Please ask your friends to visit the website and give us their feedback.
We have the data from our speed study on Highlands Blvd. Over the four-day period of May 12 to May 15, the ADT (average daily trips) was 1,804 and the 85th percentile speed was 41 mph.
Tomorrow is the annual household hazardous waste collection event from 8AM until 12PM at the Hudson Bend Middle School. Here is a link for more info.
Our public works department extended the kayak launching trail to reach the lower water’s edge at City Park.
Dave DeOme, Dee Ann Burns-Farrell, Alan Tye, and I met this week to discuss the feasibility of adopting a hotel occupancy tax. Alan estimates that the revenue from a hotel bed tax would generate about $581,000 per year. The consensus is that the bulk of the revenue should be used to construct a new civic center.
From Shannon Burke - Three potential code enforcement officers were interviewed this week and hopefully one will be on board in early June.
Following last weeks denial by CBC of a variance request for street-facing garages in Sereno Colinas (formerly Serene Hills), the developer is considering an appeal to the Board of Adjustment.
The hospital behind the Post Office now has an expected opening date of September 2011. No explanation for the delay was given.
We met with a potential buyer of the old Exxon station. He seemed to have a clear understanding of the neighborhood convenience store/gas station concept and expressed a real willingness to develop the property in a way that would be appropriate for that location. We are hopeful that he and the property owners can reach a mutually acceptable price for the land.
Hope you have a GREAT weekend - hope for rain!
Don't forget the Blood Drive at the Activity Center Saturday morning also!
