MARCH 27TH BOC MEETING RECAP Tuesday March 27, 2018 was a busy afternoon and early evening for the Waxhaw Board of Commission- ers. The Board conducted both a work session and regular meeting where we were able to accomplish the following for the Town of Waxhaw: • Received an update and reviewed the initial design recommendations for our Downtown sidewalk project, known as the “Tap Grant”. • Received updates and directed staff to move forward with improvements to Kensington Drive. • Received an update on a potential 5 year capital project plan for the Town of Waxhaw and the time- line and options for Municipal financing options to complete these projects. • In preparation for the upcoming budget season, the Board reviewed the use of fees that could be ear- marked for specific infrastructure services that the Town is responsible for. • Discussed and agreed on actions that will address and improve the operation of our volunteer boards. • Reviewed and adopted a revision to the Town of Waxhaw’s noise ordinance. This ordinance modern- izes the identification and enforcement of violations by establishing decibel limits on noise within Waxhaw. • Received, approved and directed staff to move forward with a much needed update to Waxhaw’s Mas- ter Park Plan. This update will have the added benefit of enabling Waxhaw to compete for State and Federal park related grant opportunities. • Dedicated to the Town additional streets, sidewalks and street lights in the Millbridge neighborhood: • Received public comments from 5 individuals on various topics. • The Waxhaw Board of Commissioners also had the privilege of recognizing Marion Morton of Public Services Department for her 15 year Service Award with the Town of Waxhaw. Congratulations Mari- on! Thank you to those that attended in person and to those that view via our Town YouTube Channel. The recording of last night’s meeting will remain on our You Tube channel until the minutes are drafted and approved. We work hard every day to help make Waxhaw great.
