16. Resolution amending the legal description of Times Square – This resolution corrects an error in Resolution 97-4
17. Resolution declaring the Sheriff as having the full power and authority of a police department of the Town - This resolution is the last document necessary based on the earlier agreement between the Sheriff and the Town Council. This resolution appoints the sheriff as the police department of the Town.
18. Resolution on Sustainable Communities Grant - This is a Federal Grant that would begin the hidden bike and walking path as discussed in the Design Element. This would only deal with the beginning feasibility part of this potential project. We would attempt to determine how this project would be put together, purchase some engineering work and also cost estimates. The plan is for a volunteer group to plan the project, secure easements, and maintain momentum and some degree of supervision, once the project has been engineered and drawn. This project will have to be done in phases over a period of time. This grant does require a local match. 19. Town Manager's Items and Reports 20. Town Attorney's Items 21. Public Comment 22. Adjournment If a person decides to appeal a decision made by the Council in any matter considered at this meeting/hearing, such people may need to ensure that a verbatim record of the proceeding is made, to include the testimony and evidence upon which any such appeal is to be based.    |
