more time to complete. On the plus side the following were mentioned: having <br /> a new City Manager on board; the teamwork and community feeling among <br /> staff; the informality and flexibility of working at Town Hall; fast <br /> paced/variety; and room for creativity. <br /> The following goals as determined by Council as having priority were <br /> discussed by Council and staff. First a new Town Hall. Staff expressed their <br /> opinions about the new Town Hall noting space needs and safety concerns <br /> among other issues. Council agreed that a new Town Hall was needed and <br /> stated that they planned to approach this by way of donations. Details of this <br /> approach were to be worked out by Council. Second, a review of the site <br /> development ordinance. At the May 17th Council Meeting the Council had <br /> established a new Site Development Ordinance Committee to work on this <br /> goal. The third goal was a review of the Town's infrastructure needs. This <br /> included the need for an established policy regarding paths, their maintenance, <br /> implementation, etc. It also included drainage concerns and the need for a <br /> Master Drainage Plan and an inventory of needs. The fourth goal was a review <br /> of the current ordinances to determine inconsistencies. Council noted that a <br /> couple of residents had already started working on this and the Council planned <br /> to establish a committee to continue working on identifying such <br /> inconsistencies and making a report to Council. The fifth goal was recreation <br /> needs in the Town. Council noted that there were several parcels of Town <br /> owned land and inquired whether any of these locations would be useable for <br /> • recreation programs. The Public Works Manager was asked to present a report <br /> on all such properties and whether or not they were sellable. Other comments <br /> included staffing needs for such expanded programs and the possibility of <br /> contracting out such recreation programs. One other note was the need for <br /> neighbor input if warranted by the implementation of new recreation programs <br /> in their neighborhood. The next goal was a review of the Town's website. <br /> Council discussed the need for updating the webpage to include more <br /> information about the Town such as the Municipal Code, epermitting, building <br /> and planning forms, etc. It was noted that presently the consultant was <br /> reviewing a list of suggestions as brought forth by the Community Relations <br /> Committee for updating the webpage and this report would be coming to <br /> Council in the near future. One caution was to also consider the maintenance <br /> of the webpage if it was expanded to include an extensive amount of <br /> information. Regarding epermitting it was noted that the Town does not <br /> currently accept credit cards and this was something that should be looked into. <br /> Staffing needs were also addressed. It was noted that the office specialist <br /> position had been filled and the city engineer and engineering technician <br /> positions were being advertised. Depending on the development of the <br /> webpage a webmaster might be needed to keep the webpage up to date. <br /> An exercise was also taken by all present on the importance of certain values. <br /> After tabulating the results it was determined that the following values ranked <br /> • May 19, 2001 <br /> Special City Council Meeting <br /> 2 <br />
