5. Quality-of-Life Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
A mayoral committee has been working since March to develop a long-term plan for best utilizing the quality-of-life sales tax funds. The committee was adamant that citizens begin to see an immediate return on their investment. As such, some short-term projects were prioritized. There will be a motion to approve the capital improvement plan.
6. SAFE Sidewalk Program
The quality-of-life survey identified the public's desire for a cost share program to assist property owners with needed repairs of public sidewalks. The plan provides a 50% reimbursement of labor and materials up to $800 (corner lots are eligible for up to $1,600). The program will be annually funded at $20,000.
