Old Business
The city pool has been postponed to sometime next year, it will be used as-is this summer. The job lacks organization and the city is not doing well getting it moving.
Visitor Center – The city has done no work to locate and resolve the septic tank/parking lot issue. Robert Barnes showed drawings of an adobe wall with gates which would have a period appearance and screen the parking lot from historic Allen Street. Color and texture of the adobe emulsion was discussed and a tentative finish was approved to go with the weathered wood gates.
Schieffelin Monument – abuttors began a cleanup of their site, a positive movement.
Administrative – the several yearly filings and renewals were reviewed and approved.
Tipsy Tea Party – the date was determined to be May 2nd, at the Rose Tree. More details to be determined.
