Special CRA "Mobile" Workshop on 2/17 at 10 a.m.

Next Tuesday, the CRA will be meeting at the southwest corner of N. E. Street and 10th Avenue N. to review construction progress with the contractor on the project. As you are probably aware, work is on-going to improve the right-of-way to add landscaping (including a 5 foot swale area north and south of the curbline), improve infrastructure, install pavers and lighting, along with moving aerial utilities underground.

This meeting comes from my suggestion made at the 1/27 workshop meeting. I know that I am asked frequently about the status and other specifics regarding the progress and the nature of the project. The board thought this was a good idea, so our field meeting will be taking place.

CRA Attorney David Tolces penned the following memo regarding the Sunshine Law and field meetings of this type. He concludes that we must advertise the meeting, allow the public an opportunity to appear and take minutes of the meeting. All of which are being and will be done. If you are interested, you might want to tag along with us. We are meeting at the contractor's HQ at 10 a.m.
