Parking Lot plan. Barnhart discussed the layout of the property; pointing out the parking
spaces, potential service areas, etc.
Mayor Dennis Walsh noted that it would be okay to add to the 2023 projects plan.

signage to deter traffic and solicit the safety for the school kids who use the space to get
on the bus. Crosby also asked Barnhart if the area businesses had any feedback.

and were okay with the plan.

was tentatively established in 2021. He noted the update provided tonight is to give the
Council an overview. Staff can bring back for further discussion at a future work session.
Walsh noted that we could drive roads again next spring and take another look at the list.

be there to complete projects. He plans to bring proposals to a future council meeting.

current property owners are interested in requesting an encroachment agreement with the

can clean stuff up, let's go ahead and approach an agreement.
