Davidson Board Tuesday agenda...Beaty St Task Force, Fund Balance, Legislative Priorities, and Strategic Plan

The Davidson Board of Commissioners meets Tuesday  for its March regular meeting with another packed agenda.  Topics include...

  • Beaty Street Task Force - Commissioners are looking to form a task force with direct citizen input to determine the correct disposition of the Town's 19 acre Beaty Street property.  This critical step was skipped by the previous Board in favor of going directly to the development community with an RFP designed to get what Town Hall wanted rather than what the community wanted.
  • Fund Balance - Commissioners will here a presentation on the money in the Town's savings account known as its "find balance".  There is currently about $1.55 million in the account above the Town's self-imposed minimum threshold f 35% of its annual general fund budget.  An additional $925k is tied up as "assigned" to the new Town Hall public facilities project which is currently on-hold. (Some of this $925k has already been spend however, so the exact number ties up by this project is TBD.)
  • Legislative Priorities - Each year the Town provides a list of priorities it would like to see the State General Assembly pass.  This year's list includes many of the same items seen in the past and is mostly about supporting what the NC League of Municipalities wants to get done in Raleigh.
  • Strategic Plan -  Commissioners will discuss the updated Strategic Plan covering land use, economic development, historic preservation, affordable housing and other areas.  The changes highlighted in the draft document show subtle but significant changes towards these issues that should be welcome to citizens.
