General Plan Update – Committee Assignments (Continued from January 12, 2021 Council Meeting) Town staff began outreach for volunteers to serve on the various General Plan Update Committees in August 2020. At this time, Councilmembers have reviewed the 57 remaining applications received to determine their recommendations.

Planning Commission Appointments The Municipal Code provides the method by which Planning Commissioners are appointed.

With the 2020 election, new Councilmembers Cartwright and Knisley need to make their appointments.

Improvements to Laird Road and High Cliff Road Intersection Over the last five years there has been four accidents at the intersection of Laird Road and High Cliff Road. Two accidents have occurred within the past year. In the interim, staff recommends that the Town installs flashing yellow warning lights, prior to the curve on Laird in both directions, along with additional signage to alert the drivers of the curve ahead and the need to slow down. Recommended action: Adopt a resolution approving the installation of two flashing yellow warning lights and additional signage at the intersection of Laird Road and High Cliff road and authorize $15,000 from the Transportation Fund. Public comment: 14. Mid-Year Budget Review The 2020-21 Operating Budget was prepared and adopted at the beginning of an unprecedented pandemic, we had little information and no comparable history to base our budget on. Some projections by industry specialists and other staff “best guesses,” applied with extreme conservation produced as safe a budget as could be expected. Now that half a year has passed, we can be confident that the worst of the projections will not come to pass and that some revenue sources were actually enhanced by the public’s response to the pandemic. A typical mid-year review might yield a few adjustments to the budgeted numbers and allow staff to proceed on projects that can safely go forward. Recommended action: Receive report and adopt resolution accepting the 2020-2021 Mid- Year Budget review and approving the resulting amendments.
