 Parks & Recreation Commission – heard a preliminary plan on the ice rink; received good comments; surprisingly strong contingent on creating a bolder design versus the usual Colonial Williamsburg design and to also have lots of windows.

Alderman Boulton reported on the following:  Plan Commission/ARB – the Solire Apartments project (14 Lee Avenue) was pulled by the applicant.  PAAC – met and reviewed the art element for the Vanguard Project. New member Carmon Colangelo shared his professional input of his preference to have the art piece mounted which was also the artist’s preference.

Alderman Berger commented that while at the polls today he heard from several citizens who were excited about the plans for the ice rink. After hearing those comments he has several ideas related to public engagement that he would like to discuss in the future.

Alderman Berkowitz reported on the following:  Opening Day Event - The event was an awesome and exciting time, and a great crowd. He was in awe that they ran out of food (serving around 1,000) in an hours’ time. Thanks to all that helped, especially Janet Watson.  Women’s Event – Great event, encourages continuing this event in the future, suggested to reach out and invite more people; Alderman Garnholz offered to help with the invitation list for the next event.

Mayor Sanger recapped some of the discussion of the Brentwood Boulevard Resurfacing Project and provided a brief description of his idea for the lanes. He urged the Board to provide suggestions, ideas, and comments to the staff as soon as possible due to the time schedule for the project.

City Manager Owens announced that due to the Centene construction project it would be necessary to close, for approximately six weeks, a portion of Forsyth Boulevard (Hanley Road to Jackson Avenue) to dig up and replace a sewer line/pipe. Staff is diligently working on plans (streets, safety, communication, etc.) in preparation for the closing.
