Administrator/Engineer's Report <br /> January 9, 2019 <br /> ADMINISTRATION <br /> Welcome New City Council Member —Michelle Lakso <br /> We are happy to welcome back to the City Council, Michelle Lakso. Michelle served on <br /> the City Council from 2005 —2008. She has been heavily involved in Public Safety, <br /> heading up the Certified Emergency Response Team (CERT), which works in <br /> conjunction with local law enforcement to enhance our capabilities in emergencies and <br /> for large events. Welcome back, Michelle. <br /> 2019 Committee Appointments <br /> Each year, the City Council revisits appointments to various committees. We'll want to <br /> make those changes at the first meeting in January. <br /> Clean Water Council Position <br /> I am exploring the possibility of serving on the state's Clean Water Council. This board <br /> decides how the portion of the funding from the voter-approved state sales tax that is <br /> allocated for clean water gets spent. Depending on the time commitments and the <br /> Council's backing, I would allow my name to be put forward for a possible appointment. <br /> Centennial Ptilblia ScImoils <br /> C ty tall"an(l attom°mmey tiave been an contact wnti sctioooll16akan(l are nlal<mng progress <br /> towar(ls time resmm�mu ion ol'ttme�r llna� fflat ksim es. <br /> ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT <br /> Economic Development Authority <br /> The EDA will be entertaining proposals from developers on the city-owned, vacant, <br /> Block 7 property in downtown at their meeting on January 16.
