Coffee With The Commissioner, 8-22-2017

Thanks to everyone who woke up early to attend this morning's Coffee with the Commissioner event at the Hardee's on Wilde Lake Blvd.

We had a great crowd of folks, and we discussed a broad range of issues--from the contentious budget to the trash outside on Wilde Lake Blvd.  We talked about the process for the county taking a roadway, we discussed who is responsible for cutting back vegetation that blocks "school zone" signs. We discussed street lights for Avondale, a traffic light at the Beulah Road/Mobile Highway Intersection, The Beulah Beltway project,  the OLF8 OLFX  land swap, and stormwater management issues.   We even  had several folks that just wanted to stop by to listen and say hello.

So, to all who participated, again I say thank you!

After hearing from all the folks in attendance, and after administrator Jack Brown spoke to the group, I discussed some upcoming projects for which I will advocate utilizing D1 discretionary funds:

1.  Shoulder improvements for Beulah Road, Klondike Road, Eight Mile Creek

2.  A Master Plan for Beulah

3.  A District 1 Library/Community Center/Senior Center

4.  An addition to the Beulah Fire Department to add bunk house and a kitchen facility.

5. Sidewalks on the west side



I reminded everyone about next Tuesday night's District 1 Town Hall meeting that will be at 6:00 at Beulah Elementary School.  I'm pretty confident we will have a good crowd for this upcoming meeting, and I look forward to it!
