Board pledges funding line for Cairo Comprehensive Plan and approves street closure for See & Bee event
Summary
Supervisor Bogins said a budget line item for the Cairo Comprehensive Plan can be included next year; See & Bee requested modest funds and tablets for survey work and the board approved a partial closure of Bross Street for its August 1 event. Public comments also raised the town's battery storage moratorium and county permitting needs for the Senior Center.
Supervisor Bogins told the board the Cairo Comprehensive Plan can receive a line item in next year’s budget and that the board can consider a few thousand dollars to support outreach (mailings, printing and survey materials). Chrissy from See & Bee asked that unused funds be made available and suggested buying about four tablets at roughly $50 each to collect survey responses at events; the minutes record the board’s receptiveness to modest funding help.
Separately, the board granted See & Bee permission to close part of Bross Street for their annual event on Saturday, August 1, 2026.
During public comment, A. Schmidt asked about a possible battery storage area and noted the town currently has a moratorium on battery storage; the minutes say the town will revisit the subject when the six-month moratorium expires. Another public commenter noted that Code Enforcement will need the county to pull a permit for the Senior Center when construction begins.
Next steps in the minutes: the board will include a line item for the Comprehensive Plan in next year’s budget and staff will consider modest support for outreach activities and materials.
