1. Discussion – 6301 Kilmer Street Report
Decision Required: None.
The Town has hired an architect to review the property and structures. The Town has requested information that will allow planning for future use, funding and progressive steps to move the project forward. The staff is not in receipt of the report to date and hopes to provide it prior to the Worksession.
2. Tremont Avenue Speed Hump Request
Decision Required: Whether to approve.
The Staff installed the speed/volume counter upon receipt of the request. The results were provided at the last Worksession and discussed. Additional neighbor input has been sought prior to a decision. Based on this information, staff does not think a speed hump is warranted.
3. Valley Way Speed Hump Repairs – Raised Crosswalks
Decision Required: Whether to repair or replace.
The Staff were directed to look at the possibility of installing raised crosswalks on the end of the blocks where the current speed hump in need of repair exists. The Director of Public Works has provided technical data regarding this matter in order to properly make a determination. If the Mayor and Council wish to remove the speed hump and install “bookend” raised crosswalks, then this can be accomplished in the spring. Discussed at the last Worksession, additional neighbor input has been sought prior to a decision.
4. FY16 Town Audit
Decision Required: None.
The FY16 Audit was distributed in early December. All questions provided have been answered.
5. FY17 Capital Improvement Program

6. Earth Conservation Corps Pizza Funding
Decision Required: Whether to fund.
The Mayor has added this item and will address. The ECC will be in Town from the mid-west to clean the streams in our area. The discussion will be the funding of lunch for these volunteers.

The Mayor has added this item to the agenda as Angel’s Restaurant and the Howard Johnson’s have liquor license requests before the County.
8. Wal-Mart Expansion
