REPORT OF THE MAYOR

Mayor Brick said all of the people have been working very hard on a first draft of our budget for 2011. We have that now and we will be working on a finished draft that we can bring to Council and that should be ready later next week. If you would like to schedule a meeting prior to the February 28, 2011 Council meeting at the end of next week I think we can accommodate that and we should have it by then. We are trying to really make sure we’ve looked at everything and that’s what we are doing right now.

Mayor Brick said, as you know, the Parking Commission will be reviewing the raising of the hourly parking meter rate at their meeting on Wednesday afternoon. I would appreciate any suggestions that anybody has or any recommendations that you might have on the subject prior to their meeting so that they can have it to consider. Also, I don’t know if we will get to it this Wednesday but we will probably be looking at increasing parking fines for repeat offenders. That would eventually come back to Council for your approval but we will get the Parking Commission working on that as soon as possible.
