Board discusses North Side revitalization and street-light outages, sets next meeting for May 28 at 4 p.m.
Summary
Board members discussed an opportunity-zone revitalization plan and asked staff to review rough maps for the North Side; a separate request asked staff to inspect street-light outages. The board recessed until Thursday, May 28 at 4:00 p.m.
Board members raised concerns about conditions on the North Side and asked staff and consultants to prepare a revitalization plan for review. The Chair said staff and a planning consultant had produced preliminary maps previously and asked officials to revisit those materials to develop an improvement plan.
The Chair was quoted in the transcript saying, "I don't think we can continue to sit here and not address the situation there in North Sub," emphasizing urgency for taking action on the North Side. A participant identified as "Mister Wood" requested staff check multiple street-light outages across the North Side and report back on which fixtures were out.
The board then moved to recess; a motion to recess until Thursday, May 28 at 4:00 p.m. was made, seconded and carried, according to the transcript.
The transcript does not include detailed funding figures or a firm timeline for the revitalization plan; it records that planning staff and a consultant would need to review and refine maps and options before the board receives a recommendation.
