Residents urge a city vision statement, ask about dam worker inactivity and burned entrance sign
Summary
Three residents raised public concerns: Guy Mastroianni proposed a new town vision statement, Barbra Glidden questioned perceived idle workers at the Pine Lake Dam project, and Joan Kinney asked about replacing a burned Boiling Spring Lakes entrance sign; officials said drone images are online and they are 'looking into' sign replacement.
During the public-comment portion of the June 18 meeting, resident Guy Mastroianni proposed adoption of a new town vision statement “to guide decisionmaking and ensure alignment with community goals,” an idea the board and the incoming city manager said they are open to exploring.
Public commenter Barbra Glidden pressed officials about apparent inactivity at the Pine Lake Dam project, raising concerns about idle workers and visible progress. City Manager Gordon Hargrove responded that internal planning documents are being finalized, that visible demolition and construction are delayed for now, and that a problematic change order is being withheld until progress resumes. Later, Joan Kinney asked whether the burned Boiling Spring Lakes entrance sign would be replaced; Mayor Jeff Winecoff said, “we are looking into getting it fixed or replaced.” City Clerk Tanya Shannon confirmed updated drone images of the dam have been uploaded to the city website and gave instructions on where to find them.
