Finn listed his top ten goals for <br /> the new fiscal year: 1) strengthen the Town's management team by hiring a city manager, <br /> a planning director and head engineer; 2) remodel or rebuild town hall; 3) begin annual <br /> • council/staff weekend retreat; 4) encourage residents to build sewers throughout the town <br /> by creating a template which will facilitate and make the process of creating <br /> reimbursement districts understandable and easy to implement; 5) improve maintenance <br /> of roadside paths with better materials and develop an aggressive capital improvement <br /> plan to add miles of new paths each year alongside the road where no paths now exist; 6) <br /> determine the feasibility of undergrounding utilities throughout the town by fully <br /> supporting the Utility and Information Systems Committee with staff support, <br /> professional consultants and budgeting $50,000 for outside expert fees; 7) reduce <br /> bureaucracy by bringing plan check in house, eliminating outside double check for soils <br /> engineering, civil engineering and structural engineering; 8) direct the Planning <br /> Commission to evaluate the town's ordinances, policies and design guidelines for <br /> objectivity, consistency and relevance to the town and residents' lifestyle in the new <br /> millennium; 9) review all planning and building fees; and 10) complete the town survey. <br /> Finn further commented that residents' interaction with Town Hall should be a pleasant <br /> experience. They were indeed customers. He also noted how successful the fast track <br /> process had been and believed this process allowed the Planning Commission time to <br /> look at the big picture and review ordinances and policies and not get involved in <br /> micromanaging. <br /> Since there was insufficient time to discuss the goals and objectives, Council agreed to <br /> continue this item to the next meeting. <br /> s <br /> June 15, 2000 <br /> Regular City Council Meeting <br /> 2 <br />
