CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT NONE CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT Bill Simmons, City Administrator, spoke of the communication received prior to the meeting from the Downtown Business Association of Louisville presenting the City with six pairs of banners for the Historic Downtown Main Street. The Downtown Business Association asked for Council's acceptance of the banners. They hoped to have them up prior to the Taste of Louisville. He announced that the May 24 Work Session would be at Karen's in the Country at 6:30 p.m (Boulder County Days with the Boulder County Commissioners). COUNCIL COMMENTS AND COMMITTEE REPORTS Mayer stated that Monday there had been a meeting of local governments in the Denver Metro area with the RTD Board and their staffto foster better communication. He told Council to be thinking of plans they would like to suggest to RTD concerning their plans for Boulder County for next year. He had a Request For Service form for requesting additional RTD service for the area that needed to be turned in by June 15. He commented that RTD possibly will be adding Sunday service to the 227 and additional hours on Saturday. Also, at the Consortium of Cities meeting a couple of weeks ago the issue of transportation and mass transit came up. The Consortium should be forming a task force on these issues some time this year. Some preliminary information had been provided by the County's Transportation Planner a couple of months ago. He has a copy of the Boulder County Comprehensive Plan - Transportation Element Update, which shows all of the projects the County feels would be requiring between now and 2020. There is a $250 million price tag for those projects. Also from the Consortium, the County and Louisville Housing Authority, working together, would be coming forward this year with housing projects: The Senior Project on Lincoln and the one by the Lock & Store. Levihn thanked Tom Phare, Public Works Director, the Street Department, and the Police Department for their work on the on-again/off-again construction on Pine Street. He also asked if there was a way for people to contribute, if they would like to plant trees or bushes on City property. He asked staff to look into that. Sisk was informed that his meeting with the School Board on the new high school or K8 campus on May 18 had been rescheduled for June 29. Also, he wanted the City to honor by resolution Mr. & Mrs Wendell Hunt who had purchased the lot behind their home in the Enclave, beautifully landscaped it, are maintaining it, and dedicated it to the City as open space. Concerning the meeting last Thursday about the traffic problems at St. Louis Church/School, Sisk complimented Mayor Davidson for keeping the meeting on track and furthering very positive discussions.
