City Council Study Session Summary January 20, 2022 Page 2 of 3 • Our GIS maps now have a large amount of information embedded and also many new layers. We are getting offers to map via drone and are trying to see what is feasible and necessary. • 85 homes are still without water; we are working to communicate directly with those homeowners to set up testing. Some may be on fairly soon but we are still waiting for testing results for many. • The experts are still working on how best to apply the tackifier. We do know it is not as effective when applied over snow. • The County is taking some extra time to look at the schedule for the tackifier application to allow people a chance to sift through debris before it is applied. We should have better information on that schedule early next week. This is really a balancing of public health interest and allowing people access to properties to sift for items and visit with insurance adjusters. • Planning Commission will meet February 10 to review some zoning code amendments. That will then come to City Council for consideration on February 15. • Planning is trying to directly communicate with those property owners who have not submitted an ROE form. • Planning will begin releasing demolition and right-of-way permits as soon as next week for those not joining joint debris removal process. • Our new recovery manager's priorities are establishing a consistent structure for recording purchasing and expenses and staff expenses; debris removal; individual assistance; and records management. • Longmont has offered some staffing help for disaster recovery. • Police Department working on long term neighborhood security plans. • Library is distributing KN95 masks through a state initiative; staff is working to get a direct delivery to Balfour for their residents. • Sidewalk snow removal in fire areas is being monitored but property owners shouldn't be concerned right now. Councilmember Brown noted the ROE form is very complicated. Where can people go with those questions. City Manager Durbin stated that is a County form and we can't answer those questions. We hope the debris removal meeting tonight answers a lot of questions. Mayor Pro Tern Maloney asked if the homeowners around the impacted retaining walls are being contacted individually. City Manager Durbin stated there are impacted walls in three neighborhoods and some are on private property and some on public. Planning is working to see which areas might be under City control and those under HOA We may need help from FEMA as in some places where damage to private infrastructure is affecting public infrastructure. Councilmember Fahey asked how the Enclave residents can get plat information on zoning and setbacks etc. City Manager Durbin stated that is part of the code evaluation
