Pending Matters List Ranking Discussed the intent was to identify 3-5 items of consensus on and work on them. President Johnson reviewed the results. Discussion included: • Grouping the marketing items together and potentially finding a firm to assist with marketing efforts • Items prioritized at a higher ranking: o Identify Main Street properties for development/revitalization o Potential mixed-use development near square o East Troy to Mukwonago Bike Trail/Multi-Use Path o Walkability of Village is currently being addressed through capital projects. The signage, attractions, and landmarks were associated with a mobile application discussed by Commissioner Biersack • Place the Tri-Troy Library on hold while County Administrator Luberta works on legislative efforts. If it moves forward the CDA may be involved in supporting the efforts, campaigns, etc. • Highway ES Crosswalk and sidewalk to dog park can be placed on the Director of Public Works capital planning • There are some financial and design challenges with outdoor Seating at Main Street restaurants. A façade grant would probably be more appropriate for these properties. This item can be removed from the list. • The aesthetics of the School Street lift station can be discussed in conjunction with other TID 5 project and boundary discussions the CDA should be involved in.
