Council Meeting Quick Notes: Dec. 7, 2009

Just a couple of highlights from the meeting Monday:

• New street light purchases were approved for Highland, Winnifred and Shirley Streets. Pearl Street will be delayed so the design can be coordinated with the business district, the state (Pearl is a state highway) and Tacoma (so both sides of the street can be updated together hopefully).
• Updates from the business district were added as a regular part of the agenda.
• There was discussion about the town web site updates, imaging for all town documents, school lease obstacles, town hall capitol improvements, protecting the police with surveillance equipment on the parking lot & station, supporting a professional appearance for police and fire, Harbor Improvement funds transfer to Sewer fund, among other things.
• The food & toy drive continues and a tree lighting ceremony will be held this Saturday, December 12th at 5 pm at 51st and Winnifred.
• Former police chief Sharon Reese was in town and came to the meeting to say hello.

I'll have more details next week after I review the recording of the meeting. Be sure and join us for the tree lighting on Saturday evening at 5 pm (and bring some toys and food).
