All,

I am pleased to inform you that the City Council listened to our requests to take ownership and pave our roads. We were expecting some discussion and then perhaps a vote in a couple of weeks. To our delight, Dana Bishoff James made a motion at the November 10, 2014 city council meeting that the City indeed take over and complete our roads. It was seconded by Gloria Taft. After discussion they called for a vote and by a vote of 4-0 it passed. (Jose Cubero and Faith Portman were not at the meeting). The city council meeting minutes with detailed discussion and vote results is HERE.

 

This is a big win for our community. We do not have any dates yet as to when we will see the work but the Board will stay in contact with the City to find out that information.

 

Big thanks to everyone who attended the meeting last night and I would personally like to say thank you to all involved for their hard work. I know we had some key input from various residents and it was appreciated. Rose Haley—thank you for the countless trips to the courthouse (and wherever else you had to go) to find all of the supporting documentation that really impressed the Council and ruled out any ambiguity in justifying this request. To my fellow Board Members, your efforts were instrumental in securing this vote as well and I thank you.

 

Now on to the next improvement we can make for this Community.
