City Council Corner – March 2017

Submitted by Councilmember Jenney Rees

Summary of Council actions for February:

· The Council awarded a contract to Six Sisters Deli to take over operations of the grill at the Community Center. The anticipated opening is April 1.

· The fee schedule was updated to include a new way for assessing plan check fees in order to recover costs associated with these permits.

· The discounted resident rate for Vista Room rentals on Mondays and Tuesdays was updated to say that weddings and large gatherings would be charged a flat rate of $450 instead of the previous rate of $20 per hour. This was to account for the costs associated with staffing and cleaning for these types of events.

· The current budget was amended to allow for a new master plan of city parks (this will be voted on in a future meeting) and to cover some repair costs associated with the water system.
