1. 2021 Streets Plan
Mayor Dennis Walsh initiated discussion of the 2021 Streets and roads plan. He
noted the following roads appeared to be most likely in need for improvements:
Casco Circle and the East Navarre Roads noted in the memo. Walsh recommended to
replace Lakeview Terrace and Country Club Roads with Park Lane, Elm Street, and
Eileen Street. Walsh also noted the patch of Navarre West roads which include Togo
Road, Crystal Place, Lexington Avenue, Lyric Avenue, Blaine Avenue, and up to
Navarre Lane could be considered as an alternate for improvements if possible.
He noted that the city may want to hold off on proposing anything out for 2022 for
now as well.
2. Summer Hours Discussion
City Administrator Dustin Rief requested input from the Council about the extension
of summer hours. He gave a broad overview of the impacts of extending hours to 44
hours per week. The extension of hours could result in overtime for staff and other
potential scheduling conflicts. Rief recommended a steady eight hour, Monday
through Friday schedule for City Offices throughout the year.
Council Member Aaron Printup mentioned it doesn't make sense to do overtime.
Walsh mentioned it makes sense to keep the hours the same throughout the year and
to keep it consistent.
Rief added a few points that references the data found about.
Council gave input to keep the hours Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
