Items for Individual Consideration
- Item (1): Public Hearing and consideration of the Silver Line Station Areas Plan, a long-range planning policy for the 12th Street and Shiloh Road station areas
Notable Consent Agenda Items
Total of $4,720,203 of your money in proposed expenses
- Item (b): $1,063,640 to build an elevated trail undercrossing for Chisholm Trail at Spring Creek Parkway
- Item (c): $2,927,576 for approximately 1,100 linear feet of 42-inch Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) to replace the existing 33-inch sewer line to add sewer capacity and remove bottlenecks identified in the city’s wastewater master plan. This seems pricey, but do you want to be the one to tell the residents near the bottlenecks that we’re not doing it?
- Item (d): $383,987 to replace all the shelving at Schimelpfenig Library. I’m going to stop by and take a look at the shelving myself.
- Item (j): update sex offender residency requirements and restrictions to clarify the definitions of “child safety zone,” “residence,” and “premises”; clarify Offenses and Affirmative Defenses; and delete an affirmative defense allowing a registered sex offender to obtain a court order reducing or waiving the residency restriction
- Item (k): restrict the size and height of political/noncommercial signs. Basically no signs more than 4 square feet in size, and no signs higher than 42 inches from the street or grade level.
