Please note that members of the Town Board will have dinner together starting at
5:30pm.
During the workshop session, I’d like to hear from the Town Board regarding your hopes
and goals for the 2017 Town Board Retreat.
In your packet, you will find materials from the Crooked Creek Saloon regarding their
request for a business enhancement grant.
I’ve included a resolution for your consideration authorizing an expenditure of up to
$30,000 for purchase and implement of a Public Works Asset Management Program.
I’ve been working with our Public Works staff on improving the efficiency, accountability,
and effectiveness of the department via an asset management program. As you may
know, it is very important that we identify problems (such as a trail washout) and take
appropriate action. However, it is equally important that we document that we’ve
identified such problems and how we have mitigated them. We’ve looked at a very wide
variety of programs to help us manage all this information (along with other needed
management tools), and collectively we are recommending implementation of
CityWorks. This platform is used by many other Colorado (and national) municipalities
and Counties and integrates very well with our GIS system and other databases. While
it comes with a significant price tag, note that much of that is implementation. I’d also
note that I believe tha the return on this invest will be short given the opportunities it
provides to be more efficient and minimize liabilities.
Materials are included for discussion regarding code enforcement matters, in particular
property maintenance and animal control. The relevant sections of the current Town
Code are included for reference. Also included is a new CML publication regarding
these matters and the International Property Maintenance Code. I’d like to discuss
process as relates to amending the town’s property maintenance code and it’s that time
of year when animal control regulations rise to the surface of community concern.
As always, feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need any additional
information.
