FALL CLEAN-UP
Please mark your calendars for the Town's Fall Clean-up on November 6th. Our primary focus will be the Glen Path (the one running from the top of the south beach hill road to SE 30th). 
DEPUTY CLERK KULP RESIGNATION
After fourteen years of faithful service, Angela Kulp tendered her resignation as Deputy Clerk (effective 8/31/2021) to focus on her health. Mayor Gillem and the Town Council hope everyone will take a moment to express their appreciation for all her hard work on the Town’s behalf and wish her the best in regaining her health.
NEW DEPUTY CLERK
Mayor Gillem has hired Addie Tych as the Town’s new Deputy Clerk effective 10/1/2021. Addie has been filling in for Angela during a medical leave and has become somewhat familiar with many aspects of the Deputy Clerk’s position. We are fortunate and thankful that Angela left excellent notes about the various tasks she handled, which will continue making Addie’s transition easier.
UPCOMING REPAVING PROJECT
Lakeside Paving will be repaving 103rd, 28th, 102nd and SE 27th October 11-15. This will finish construction of the 2019 and 2020 Water Line Replacement and Storm Water projects. Affected residents will have full access to their houses in the evenings, and we ask that all neighbors in the Village help with parking accommodations during the day.
 
Week of October 11-12, 2021: 
KC Roads – Lakeside; stage 1 of pavement restoration activities
Stage 1 will include the grinding work and a base patching layer of asphalt. This work is tentatively scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, October 11/12th. You will have access to your property during this time, but may be delayed entering and leaving up to 15 minutes. 
 
Week of October 13-15, 2021: 
KC Roads – Lakeside; stage 2 of pavement restoration activities
Stage 2 will include the final overlay work. This work is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday through Friday, 10/13 – 10/15. Please know there are times when you will be unable to access your property for extended hours, even full days, during this time. Emergency services (ie. fire, ambulance, police, etc.) however, will be notified well in advance and arrangements made as necessary. Personal vehicles can be parked in any available public right-of-way space outside the construction zone and traffic control personnel will be on-site to aid pedestrians through the active work areas.
COUNCIL BUSINESS
The Council met on Tuesday September 14, 2021 and discussed the following:
  • Clarification of the Tree Code concerning hazardous/dead trees and simplifying the process of gaining permission to remove them. The Planning Commission will study the issue and make recommendations to the Council.
  • Concerns about the lack of parking in the vicinity of SE 28th Street and 102nd Ave SE.
  • Public Hearing: Final review of and action on the 2022-2027 Capital Improvement Plan.
  • Improvements to the Water Maintenance Shed to provide better amenities to staff using this building and to provide segregated storage for emergency-response supplies.
  • A update on the Town’s 2021 Paving Project, noting that the schedule is subject to change depending on the weather. Notices have been mailed to affected residents and posted on mailstands near the worksite. Changes will be shared with residents as they become known.
