City Reports

CM Rees – Family Festival Committee is well underway for the Family Festival. One question that came up was when the Vista Room can be reserved for community events and the expense of wedding receptions as we may need it as a backup for some events due to weather and adding new events. My thought is that as the facility was paid for with recreation impact fees, community events should come first and we should be willing to lower revenue projections to compensate. The rest of the Council agrees with this direction. We will discuss further with staff at a future meeting so everyone is on the same page.

David Bunker – TSSD met and is working on analysis for current user rates as part of a bond refinance. Will be coming within the next month or so. Actively seeking a resident to serve on the Board of Adjustments.

CM Zappala – Moving forward with how we can use technology in the city better. Has a student who is volunteering to work on an app that allows residents to report on issues and track those issues.

CM Crawley – Parks and Trails are discussing items for this year, including city breakfast and the roundabout.
