(Special Session) Mr. Dickinson stated two weeks ago there had been rumors of a special legislative session, that did not happen.

(New Homes) The Building Department is reporting 105 new single-family homes have been permitted in 2016, plus a 66 -unit multi -family building. In 2015, the number was in the 70s. Predictions for next year are 50-75, not 100. Mr. Dickinson stated the number of available lot units is going down, and they are dealing with more difficult properties for new development. It was noted if residents have been seeing red bags over the fire hydrants, the bags are to protect © hydrants from corrosion due to the salt on the roads. The City Utility Department has taken the initiative on this preventative measure. In 2016 about 30% of permits were done on-line, saving both the City staff and contractors/residents time.
