Friends,
The Board of Aldermen/Alderlady meeting was long Thursday evening. We finished at 10:45 P.M. but could have gone to midnight. The Village Voice will be publishing most of the business in the newspaper next Thursday. As a preview to Tim's article(s), here are a few of the items discussed:
Roads -- neighborhood work begins in January and continues for the remainder of 2015.
Planning and Zoning Committee and the Board of Adjustments
The nomination, approval, and swearing in of a new Assistant Judge
Public Hearings
The Road ahead for the Village in negotiating with Developers. Our city lawyer was very helpful in guidance. More work must be done in this area, but the Aldermen/Alderlady have organized and will begin working on specifics immediately.
Office Space. Renovation and the call for volunteers. We will renovate the Municipal Building and the brick house we own next door. Cost -- about $23,500 or less. The Police department will move to the brick house freeing the Municipal Building for office personnel office space. Most of the work will be done by volunteers under the direction of our maintenance supervisor.
ETJ -- will become addressed in 2015. Options are being considered. It is for sure that Killeen is coming down the Florence road between Prairie Hill and Salado in the latter part of 2015 and early 2016. They will annex everything they can. Temple is coming from the Academy direction, south and east. Both see the opportunity to increase their revenue for additional expansion.
Recognition of of one of our finest -- our own police hero.
Environmental Ordinance on a portion of Salado creek and protecting the Salamanders.
The Rotary gift of a covering for the children's play area in Pace Park.
There is a called session of the BOA for 16 December, 6:30 P.M. It will be short session, but some business must be accomplished before the Christmas break.
Buy your tickets for the Chamber Evening Banquet, 8 January. Going to be a super affair.
