Unfinished Business

  1. AGENDA ITEM: Discussion only regarding Issuing stick on notices to serve as a visible notification for parking vehicle infractions parking in/on the district’s right of way. Will move to further ongoing discussion given there are some that are moving cars within 72 hours.
  2. AGENDA ITEM: Correct street sign. Replacement of the street sign on Saw Mill to one word, “Sawmill”. This has been completed.
  3. AGENDA ITEM: Progress on herbicide spraying sign notices with opt-out provisions. We have SafeTlite vendor working on the signs and will be providing mounting hardware with an estimated time of arrival by end of February.
