OLD BUSINESS: n/a
NEW BUSINESS:
1. Request to adopt the new layout of the 300 East parking lot
Jim Collins stated this lot was reconstructed and is near completion with the exception
of a garbage dumpster enclosure which should be done soon. The layout is very close to
the previous lot. The new lot map needs to be approved to become part of the
Municipal Code. Dan Sciezinski asked about a small section on the map to see if additional
spots could be made; Jim confirmed they already looked at that area and there was not enough
room.

2. 2023 Capital Improvements Dashboard
Jim Collins said he asked James Rabe from Public Works to attend the meeting to give
a brief overview of a very helpful tool to track Capital Improvement projects. James
said there is a tool available to the public in case they are curious about upcoming
projects in specific areas. He said they are divided by 1-5 year projects and 6-10 year
projects. The dashboard is very user friendly and he demonstrated several ways to filter
the search criteria. After you zoom in on a specific area that is flagged, it will display
the project name, year, description, projected costs..etc. James went over several
examples so the board felt comfortable with the options available. Al Hartman said the
video link to youtube is also a good resource.
STAFF STATEMENTS:
Jim Collins wanted to remind the members that there is already one board opening and
after tonight’s meeting, a second opening after Dan Becker officially steps down. Which
led into the second staff statement, Jim thanked Mr. Becker for almost 10 years serving
on this board. The other update Jim gave Dan Sciezinski is that he did pass the message
along to the Forestry Department to evaluate the area by South Park that he thought needed
trimming.
