City Administrator’s Report
City Administrator Klaphake asked Council to discuss at their next meeting an amendment to the
City’s Residential Solicitation Ordinance to consider an exemption for dairy.
He asked that the minutes reflect Council’s aspirational goals for the Hwy 7 Study to include:
• Use term similar to “alternative route” rather than continue to use “by-pass”. By-pass sounds like traffic would not be able to continue to use Baseline Road;
• Encourage the alternative route to begin in the area of the 119th/120th intersection;
• An attractive entry feature, possibly including a roundabout, will need to encourage local (passenger vehicle) traffic and discourage truck traffic;
• Baseline Road should remain a residential type street (2 lane);
• Be flexible (team player) as to the design of the highway outside of Lafayette in other municipalities as long as the other municipalities are flexible regarding Lafayette’s concerns in and around Lafayette.
Boulder County Latino Task Force Survey / Funding Request
At the March 20, 2012 Council meeting, representatives from the Boulder County Latino Task Force requested $4,000 from Lafayette to support their proposed 2012 Community Assessment Research Project. Senior Services Manager Mary Lester reviewed recommendations from a 2005 Needs Assessment of the Lafayette Latino Community conducted by Trabajando Unidos. She listed actions that have been taken as a result of the assessment. City Administrator Klaphake reviewed past and current funding of the City’s Latino Advisory Board budget. He recommended that the requested funding come from this budget if Council wishes to participate in the Boulder County study.
A motion was made by Councilor Lynch and seconded by Councilor Lupberger to approve Lafayette’s participation in the Boulder County Latino Task Force Community Assessment Project and to fund Lafayette’s share of the study with monies from the Latino Advisory Board’s budget. The motion passed unanimously.
Adjourn to Executive Session
At 9:16 p.m., a motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Kracha and seconded by Councilor
Lupberger to adjourn to Executive Session according to C.R.S. 24-6-402(4)(b), to confer
