CD 20-139 1  Discussion ItemWestbrook Housing Presentation - Affordable and Senior Housing. In January, the Council discussed having Westbrook Development Corporation and Westbrook Housing hold listening sessions for “Windham Affordable and Senior Housing.” Those sessions were held in February and March prior to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. The attached summary represents the findings along with our comprehensive plan and demographic information. Should the Council determine next steps are necessary, staff is recommending these items be considered for the workshop discussion: 1. Identify market cost housing for Windham in several categories; 2. Learn and examine options to fund various housing opportunities ranging from work force, affordable and senior housing, and how our demographics indicate the level of need. 3. Identify location options by zoning, transportation, walkability and other pertinent factors.   Action details Video Video
CD 20-140 1  Discussion ItemWindham Website Update. The Town worked with CivicPlus to provide us with a “Basic Redesign” at no cost as part of our initial 2013 contract. *The timeline from start to finish was estimated to take from 28 to 30 weeks (by CivicPlus). *Throughout the process, feedback was solicited from the community and Town employees which enabled the team in establishing goals for the new website design. *Due to the team’s diligence in completing all tasks on our end as quickly as possible, the project was completed in 25 weeks! The result is a beautiful website that provides accurate, non-editorial content that informs, educates and enlightens citizens about the functions, services, activities, issues, operations, and projects of Windham’s municipal government. In addition, it facilitates, where appropriate, the delivery of direct services as provided by Windham’s municipal government to its citizens and other customers. *Going forward, we have one employee, Tammy Hodgman, who will serve as the Town’s Website Coordinator. She will facilitate website content and design as part of her new role   Action details Video Video

CD 20-148 1  Discussion ItemPublic Request to Change Chapter 227 - Vehicles & Traffic Ordinance. The Town received this request for changes/additions to the Vehicles & Traffic Ordinance from residents on Fox Run Road subdivision. The impetus for this request came from an eighteen-wheeler parked on Fox Run Road. Based on current state law the Town’s ability to manage the issue was limited. The solution is to modify our current language. The recommendation to move forward would be to review the items on the requested petition, examine other areas of applicability with revisions for an ordinance amendment. We would look to have this to the Council in September.   Action details Video Video
