Watershed Program Manager Kevin Olvany of the Canandaigua Lake Watershed Council will present and discuss the existing studies, work that has been done, and suggestions to move forward. Note that Resolution #2023-099 requested a joint City Council and Town Board meeting to discuss flood mitigation. The Town is also requesting such a meeting at their 8/21 Town Board. The joint Town/City meeting has been scheduled for September 20th at 6 p.m., Town Hall.
At the June 6th Finance Committee, the City Manager and Chief of Police recommended updating the fee schedule for towing which has remained unchanged for 12 years as towing companies requested that the fee be adjusted to account for increased cost and to be in line with Ontario County and the City of Geneva. The fee schedule update was not adopted and recently the towing companies requested to speak with the City Council about the rates. They have been invited to present before the committee.
Ontario County has established a grant program utilizing a portion of its Federal American Rescue Plan Act funds “to assist projects that develop or expand arts, cultural and recreational opportunities as the community recovers from COVID-19.” The County extended their submission deadline to 8/16 and Wood Library reached out the City for a Resolution of Support for their application. Wood Library is requesting $10,000 to support The Reading Garden project. After some resident feedback, Councilmember Uebbing requested further discussion regarding City Staff’s original grant application proposal to pave park paths.
Parking is currently restricted along the north side of Howell from Park Street to Charlotte Street. Due to parking complaints from Howell Street residents, City Staff recommended changing the current parking restriction by restricting parking on the south side instead. The Ordinance Committee discussed the matter and recommended allowing parking on both sides of the street and an ordinance was introduced at the last City Council meeting where residents of Howell Street also spoke requesting that the Council reconsider and follow the original recommendation.
Ordinance #2023-005 Amending the Zoning Ordinance with Regard to Short-Term Rentals and Bed and Breakfast Establishments was presented to Council at the 8/3 meeting and sent back to Ordinance for further discussion.
