City.

-Ups for the month

The best news of the month is when the Pedestrian Bridge on the

Middle Creek Greenway Phase III was finally set in place in

early December. This project seems to be back on track for

completion in early January.

Both Ken Reagan-Recreation Maintenance Worker and myself

achieved the 40 year mark with the City in late November…..

Met with Michael Johnson-Developer of property adjacent to the

Town Square. We had a very positive meeting and we feel the

Town Square repairs and cleaning will be completed by his an-

ticipated opening in January. This effort has been a joint co-

operative effort

Final details of our Blueway Development meeting for January 24,

2020 was finalized and invitations were sent out to those that

need to be involved in this process.

Mayor Fox has been working on the appointments to our new

Parks and Recreation Services Advisory Board and Founda-

tion. These boards will begin meeting in early 2020 planning

for our future.

Not So Much an Up for the month

The West Prong Greenway Project has slowed down due to

some needed reevaluation of the observation decks and the

construction of this structure n reference to a 24” gas line that

is located in this area. Hopefully, a resolve will be found in

early January so that this project can get back on track.
