  A presentation from Rodney Lynch from the Community Developement Department about a grant application that is going in for March 2011, to continue the Downtown Facade improvement program. Local businesses will be providing much of the matching money, and some TIF money is being proposed to be used, instead of using CDBG money. The reason being that TIF money is supposed to be used to plow back into infrastructure improvemnts in the TIF districts, and this way, CDBG (Community Development Block Grants) will still be available for other projects in the community at large.

  If you are interested in reading Rodney's memo, and/or attending the meeting, here is the memo for more information.

But Wait, There's More..

  We're also going to be having a discussion with the Department Heads about goals for the coming fiscal year. That's right, it's going to be time to start building the budget already. I'm not sure how we are supposed to deal with a Community Development presentation, a discussion with the department heads about goals for FY 2012, and also set the agenda for the regular council meeting, but come on down if you've got some ideas for goals you'd like to see approached in the coming fiscal cycle.
