Update about ongoing Village activities:

1. Mayor Hostetler announced last month that the draft parking ordinance was on hold since the BPOA Board of Directors had changed their mind about wanting such an ordinance. This was based on a letter from their attorney. After our Village attorney sent a return letter pointing out the current information in the original letter regarding traffic enforcement in Briarcliff, it appears that the Board has again changed their mind and are working on the idea of requesting that the Village proceed with a parking ordinance. If we receive a written request from the BPOA to proceed, we will consider completing the project.

2. To ensure that BPOA Board members and Briarcliff citizens are aware of both sides of the draft parking ordinance interchange of letters, I have posted our Village attorney’s letter on the Village website.

Chief DeLira gave a brief update regarding security.

City Administrator, Aaron Johnson gave a brief update regarding City Business.

There were a few citizen comments and questions.
