The
regular meeting of CANDO was called to order at 6 p.m., on Tuesday, May
21, 2024. The meeting was conducted by Zoom video-conference. The
Chair and Secretary-Treasurer were present.
The agenda and minutes of the April meeting were approved unanimously.
Councilor
Stapleton thanked the meeting for voting, especially given the current
estimate of 20% turnout. She spoke about the work session last night on
the “Government Assessment” report by Moss Adams, and the approval of
Deacon Development’s application for Multi-Unit Housing Tax Incentive
Program (MUHTIP) with conditions intended to ensure transparency in
response to complaints about unfair labor practices from the carpenters’
union.
Sgt.
Dowd reported his teams were geared up for seasonal activities in the
central area (marches, July 4th celebrations, Hoopla, etc.) and had made
adjustments in their assignments to improve efficiency. He spoke
briefly about the Community Police Academy and adjustments made to the
operations of the Graffiti Abatement Team.
Ken Bierly gave a presentation on the Salem Floodplain Species Assessment.
There being no further business before the board, the Chair adjourned the meeting at 6:36.
