COMMENTS COMMENTS FROM CITY MANAGER • This is the first agenda where some actions that would have been ordinances have been changed to municipal orders. This will help in making the commission meetings more efficient since municipal orders require one reading and ordinances require two. Please note that the items that were changed are Items IV(b, c, & d) on the agenda. We are considering changing the format of the agenda to a consent agenda. • Pederson says the Traffic Commission met recently to discuss on -street parking on the south side of Broadway near the intersection with Lone Oak Road. With so much new business activity in that area, many people are parking on the street. However, the vehicles are parking very close to the driveway entrances to businesses creating safety concerns due to limited sight lines. The City is looking at limiting the parking adjacent to the driveway entrances to increase the safety and visibility for vehicles entering and exiting parking lots. Yellow curbs would reflect no parking areas. • A pre -budget workshop for the upcoming fiscal year will be scheduled as part of a commission meeting in the coming weeks. We will be discussing the general fund, investment fund and the rankings of projects that are part of the Capital Improvement Plan. Staff is trying to identify Phase I for City Hall that addresses the outstanding safety issues associated with the roof, overhang and some seismic improvements. Also, looking 911 MARCH 14, 2017 at the mechanical systems in the building to determine if they will be part of Phase I or Il. Estimated project cost is over $4 million. COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS • Commissioner Wilson reported West Kentucky Community & Technical College was among the 10 finalists for the Aspen Prize. COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE • McCracken County Public Library Director Susan Baier says April 1 through April 15 will be an amnesty period so that people can return late books, DVDs, etc. and have their fines waived. ADJOURN Mayor Harless offered motion, seconded by Commissioner Rhodes, that the meeting be adjourned at approximately 6:10 p.m. All in favor. Motion carried.
