Welcome to the Town of Frazier Board Meeting Recap, your quick and comprehensive update on the latest decisions impacting our community. In this episode, we're covering the April 16, 2025 Board Meeting. Let's dive into the key discussions and outcomes. The board opened with a heartfelt moment of silence and memory of Molly Palmer, daughter of Bill Palmer from the Downtown Development Authority Board, who tragically passed away at just seven years old. Following roll call, the board approved both the meeting agenda and a consent agenda that included minutes from March 19th and April 2nd, and the final acceptance of Grand Park Drive and Old Victory Road filing one, after a quick correction in the March minutes. The board heard a presentation on financial reports from the town's finance director, Laurie Waters. General fund reserves remain solid, the town is receiving grant funds and preparations for summer are underway, including the return of the street sweeper. Sales tax revenue held steady, up slightly from last year. However, short-term rental revenue dipped by over 6% compared to last March and remote sales tax collections also declined by more than 15%. Next, the board unanimously approved a resolution to award two new business enhancement grants. Frazier Riverbeer Co will receive $6,000 for ADA improvements while TAC Enterprises gets $3,607 for exterior building upgrades. A third application for exterior siding at Fox Run Apartments was deemed ineligible because the funds are not intended for residential properties. Helen Brown from Sustainable Grand then gave a detailed presentation on the Home Energy Assessment Program. With a goal of doubling participation by 2027, the non-profit is helping residents identify energy inefficiencies and save money, offering assessments that can cost as little as $35 after rebates. A new energy saver program is also now available for households earning below 150% of the area median income, offering up to $2,000 toward recommended weatherization improvements. In a major agenda item, the board discussed a new affordable housing fee incentive program. The proposal introduces two tiers of incentives for developments that include at least 50% affordable units. Tier 2 projects require a 30-year deed restriction and would receive significant fee reimbursements. Tier 1 projects offered deeper incentives for permanent deed restricted housing. The goal is to encourage more workforce housing while maintaining long-term affordability. The board unanimously voted to move forward with drafting a resolution and ordinance for final approval. Tristy updates followed, including news from the Northwest Transportation Planning Region. Upcoming grant opportunities could support multimodal projects like safer school sidewalks and pedestrian crossings. The board also discussed future ideas such as inclusionary zoning or workforce housing requirements tied to new commercial developments. Finally, the board entered two executive sessions, one regarding economic incentives and the other related to the Joint Facilities Oversight Committee agenda. No decisions were made following the discussions. That's all for this week's Frazier Board Meeting Recap. Thanks for listening, we'll be back with our next recap after the May 7th meeting.
