Mayor Brook Lyon reported the Arden Community Center permitting is ahead of schedule, sewer permitting was secured (saving roughly $10,000), town hall repairs are planned, and the town market and tree giveaway dates were announced.

Mayor Brook Lyon used her Jan. 15 report to introduce new staff, update the council on capital projects and list upcoming community events. She said the Arden Community Center at the Hillman Lot is ahead of schedule, stormwater permitting had only a few comments pending, and the sewer permitting was obtained in time "and that saved us $10,000 because the rates went up."

Lyon also reported town-hall repairs (gutters installed; deck replacement starting in two weeks pending materials) and noted upcoming community activities: a town market on Feb. 6 (6–8 p.m.) and a tree giveaway partnered with the tree conservancy on Feb. 7. She thanked town staff for speedy permitting work and encouraged residents to attend events.
