Direction Needed from City Commission
• Want to move forward with a mini-stimulus local package?
• If so, is $600,000 the correct target?
• If so, which projects from the list would you like staff to move forward with? • (May need to report back once designed.)
• If doing new sidewalks, does the Commission support the recommendation to NOT special assess?
