Members of Carlyle town council gathered on April 7 to discuss several things.
Council provided information on a recent strategic planning session. On March 4, council participated in a closed-door meeting led by HMC Management Inc. During this session, council created a vision and mission statement, as well as established priorities for their four-year term. Council reviewed and adopted the strategic plan report and operations plan report at the April meeting.
Council has approved a half-time special projects co-ordinator position to work on many of the initiatives identified through the strategic planning process; Dawn Faber will be filling this role. Council has also been discussing and working on the 2021 budget. A few items that have been approved this year are the upgrading of two lawn mowers and new attachments to the Toolcat that was purchased last year. Another item is a safe sidewalk assessment to improve the walkability of the community.
Council would like to let the community know that the assessment appeal deadline is May 14 for any person wishing to appeal their assessment values. Tax notices will be sent out after this deadline.
Also, there is a No Fee Day at the transfer station on May 29 for Carlyle residents during regular operating hours of 1-4 p.m.
