Aldermen outline long- and short-term goals including water/sewer upgrades and new senior/community center
Summary
Alderman Thering proposed classifying aldermanic goals as long- or short-term; long-term items listed included water and sewer upgrades, a fire truck, a senior/community center and a Hwy 23 stoplight for new high school traffic; short-term items included Public Works building and sidewalk work.
During discussion of goals, Alderman Thering recommended classifying alderman goals into long- and short-term priorities. The minutes record several long-term objectives: water and sewer service upgrade and expansion, a fire department truck, a senior/community center, a stoplight on Highway 23 to manage traffic for the new high school, the John Welch Memorial Park gazebo, and a pedestrian walkway on the Hwy 23 bridge.
Short-term goals listed included a Public Works building, a Washington Street bridge project, sidewalks, and a Mitch Franklin Park culvert. Board members also noted additional items to add to the goals list: wayfinding signage, rail spur allocation, and work at Volunteer Park. The items provide a roadmap for capital planning and budget prioritization in coming sessions.
