Commission goal-setting
The commission will decide its short-term and long-term priorities, which could steer future youth programs, events, and partnerships in Page.
Potential Tymco Street Sweeper Purchase
The city's old street sweeper is past its service life; a new Tymco unit was bought at $401,006 through a cooperative bid, about $34,000 under budget.
Council and Board Code of Ethics
The council couldn't agree on a proposed ethics code — several members doubted it is enforceable and favor a "dignity pledge" instead. It goes back to staff for a reworked draft.
Tourism rebound in September
After five straight months of declines, September hotel occupancy ticked up about 4.7%, thanks mostly to international visitors — good news for the city's tax revenue, though one month doesn't make a trend.
Library Board Leadership Turnover
Vice Chair Tracy Salmi is resigning in June due to family health issues, forcing new elections for chair and vice chair and a search for a new board member by July. The board is recruiting, and remote participation by Zoom is possible.
Billing & Operations Software Replacement (NISC)
The aging Cassell software is deteriorating under private-equity ownership, and the board agreed to move to NISC — the industry standard — at roughly $200,000-plus up front and $8,000 a month in support. Full transition will take up to two years and be budgeted next fiscal year.
General Manager's Performance Review
The board went into closed-door executive session to review General Manager Bryan Hill's job performance, as permitted under state open-meeting law.
Youth Advisory Commission goals and priorities
