The committee received updates from municipal departments, discussed a proposed permanent 1% sales tax (Penny for Progress), reviewed the optional third-party building review program, considered an ordinance to allow foreclosure on dangerous building liens, and heard a presentation on zoning changes for relocatable dwelling units (formerly mobile homes). No votes were taken; public hearing on the sales tax is scheduled for October 21, 2025, and the third-party review issue will be revisited at the next meeting.
I mean, and just three. I guess I think you're very good at trying to hear it. Thanks for making it very much. Very much. Okay. Okay. I think we're going to be able to do that. Yes. So we know. Good morning, everyone. I'm going to call this meeting of the community and economic development committee of the Yankee Assembly Support. It is 9 01 a.m. Thursday, October 2nd, and we begin with member introductions. Scott Meyer. Anna Brawley. On the line we have. Mr. Johnson. Yeah, I'm here. Thank you. Thank you, Chair. Are there any other members on the line? Okay, not yet. Thank you. And we'll begin with our uh moving today briefly through regular reports. We do have kind of some substantial items and discussion time. And I want to make sure we have uh adequate time for those discussions. And again, we go discussions, presentations, uh work sessions or debate. Uh we'll begin with regular reports and uh we'll start off with planning, development, and public works. I see Mr. Wilbur here. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Uh I'll be brief. Just a couple of highlights of what's going on in our world right now. Um first of all, we have regarding the AB upgrades in this room. We've got to put the RFP out of the street, competitive bid. We've selected a candidate who'd be reaching out to them to start that work. Their contractor's requirement that the work be done by the end of the year. I've moved around with other commitments in the room. So just want to let you know that that is in progress. Um also um I'm working with Courtney Peterson and Public Works Administration to calendar time for a meeting of the uh heads of the limited road service areas. There was a time when we got all of the service areas together. Just gonna want to touch base and see how they're doing. We're gonna talk about um communications, contracting, if they want to make some changes to some things, um appointments. I've been talking to Barbara Jones, she's offered to give them a little bit of tips and tricks, and so we can get to that calendar here pretty soon. Mr. Colbace may talk about we're just doing a lot to prep for winter, not only in the street size, but in the facility size, so it's a lot of activity going there on the budget world. We're doing working with departments for year end to find out how they're gonna turn out this year. Most of them are doing pretty good.
