Rumors have been circulating concerning a pool cover. The landscape committee will meet again on Nov. 4. The multipurpose field at the high school is complete. There were no citizen comments this evening. Trustee Comments Tracy Bennett asked about publishing the meeting agendas in the Roaring Fork Sunday and was told that it is currently published.
Individuals can also receive agendas by e-mail by contacting the Basalt Town Clerk.
Trustee Freedman expressed concern with the placement of county offices on the Tree Farm property suggesting that the office buildings needed to be placed in an already, or soon to be, developed area and leave the recreation and open space. Board members agreed to put this discussion on the November 10 agenda to determine a Board position on the issue before meeting with Pitkin County Commissioners. Mayor Stevens wondered if discussion should be held regarding staffing levels. Money for development consultants has doubled and tripled over the past 3 years and Mayor Stevens asked Board members to think about whether the Town wanted to retain those amounts for consultants or hire another staff person in the 1999 budget. Administrator Mueller suggested the Board stabilize a position on the issue of county buildings at the Tree Farm.
