WEEK IN REVIEW Edition # 84 11/23 -12/4 Building Permits this Period = 8 Building Permits YTD = 232 New Homes YTD = 139 ************************************************************* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** * There is a meeting that has been scheduled for December 14 at 10.00 at the Wargo Nature Center to begin discussions on the County plan for improving the regional park. The notice was sent inviting City Administrators and School Administration officials in the area. This is planned to be an informal meeting with the County Parks staff and the consultant that is being hired to produce the master park plan. Official public hearings on the park development are scheduled to occur in January. If any Councilmembers or Councilmembers -elect are interested in attending this meeting, please let me know. I plan to attend this meeting. * The County has responded to Bonestroo's submittal of the technical plans for installation of the flashing lights at Main Street. Mr, Mike Spack is making the requested plan changes for re- submittal. An easement will be required from the Helmbrecht's and Kelly's Korner. Both parties have verbally agreed to grant the easements. * Reminder! The Holiday party is this Saturday. See you there! The truth in taxation hearing is scheduled to start off this next Council meeting. I have had phone calls from nine residents. It appears that I was able to satisfy their concerns and answer their questions. I am expecting a fairly good turn out of citizens for the public hearing. We have handouts prepared that I believe will very adequately address any possible questions. * Teresa Bender has accepted the offer for the position of Deputy Clerk/Treasurer. Teresa's start date is scheduled for December 21. * The first "Community Skating Night" is scheduled for January 3, 1999. There are plans to have concessions and outdoor music. If this is successful the Park and Recreation Committee would like to make this a weekly event, weather permitting. The Park and Recreation Committee is drafting new language for a revised park dedication requirement for new developments. This will be reviewed at a future meeting. * Lloyd Drilling is pursuing the development of a 12,000 square foot commercial building with bays to be leased. The building is expected to open during the summer of 1999. Mr. Drilling is expecting to bring in plans in the next couple months. * The school has scheduled soil borings for their potential new kindergarten building.
