Summary
Mayor Treva Hodges told the Jan. 5 Common Council the Comprehensive Plan process is wrapping up, with a Plan Commission public hearing set for Jan. 12 and a six-week 'Develop Charlestown' workshop beginning Jan. 29 at the library. A resident also requested a handicap sign and relief for on-site parking at the Copper Kettle.
Mayor Treva Hodges told the Charlestown Common Council on Jan. 5 that the city is nearing the end of its Comprehensive Plan development and that the Plan Commission will hold a public hearing on Jan. 12.
Hodges also announced she will lead a six-week community workshop titled 'Develop Charlestown' beginning Jan. 29 at the library on Thursday evenings from 6:00–8:30 p.m. The mayor framed the series as part of ongoing public engagement around the Comprehensive Plan and invited community participation; the transcript records the schedule and format but does not include workshop materials or an agenda.
During public comment, resident Debbie Smith of 8824 Saddle Ridge Trail asked the council to install a handicap sign at the Copper Kettle where the paint is worn and requested that Life Spring employees park at the side of the building so customers have space. Mayor Hodges responded that "a sign can be installed" and noted that because the lot is public parking she cannot require employees to move, but she said she would email Beth to raise the parking concern.
Legislative Youth Advisor Briciedy Moreno also provided an update on school activities and events; the transcript lists the update without further detail. The council's remarks included praise for seasonal city services and the holiday trolley.
The Plan Commission public hearing on Jan. 12 is the next procedural step in the Comprehensive Plan process reported by the mayor. The transcript does not record formal actions related to the plan at this meeting.
