1. STAFF ADJUSTMENT
As of 911/88, P. & Z. Clerk, Connie Fleming will be on 6 weeks maternity
leave. Connie's productivity will be missed during her absence. We wish
her the best with the 2nd addition to her young- family. Lavada will be
covering for Connie, as best as she can considering her own work load as
City Secretary. Recognizing the limitations that this temporary staff
shortage can create, we will double our efforts to maintain the status quo
until staff levels are resumed or improved. Council's understanding is
appreciated.

Hills, 9th filing (from Martin Parkway to Roberts Road) is currently under

Construction is to take an estimated four weeks and should be completed
by Mid September. The Citys' resurfacing contract calls for Glade from
Roberts to Cheeksparger to be resurfaced with 2" of HMAC (possible by the
time the Woodland Hills perimeter street is completed). Both are planned
to be completed prior to the Kaleidoscope of Homes set for Oct. 15 (for
4 weeks). Any resulting conflict will be adjusted as much as possible to
reduce inconvenience with the Kaleidoscope of Homes. Detour routing has
been established. See staff memo & detour route attached.
