John Perlis is the new Heritage Homes appointee for HCPC. At the upcoming July meeting, there will be an election of chair, vice chair and second vice chair. Ms. Hines followed up on questions that came up at a previous meeting and noted that regarding the water line construction, the decision was made by public works to do the construction at night so that there would be less disruption to businesses and a safer construction environment. Regarding the testing of SMART train horns, SMART has constructed safety improvements at crossings to enable consideration of the quiet zones, but requesting establishment of quiet zones is the responsibility of the local government. There was also a question about whether fair parking was conditioned at East Washington Place. Staff researched the project resolutions and conditions and could not find anything requiring provision of overflow parking for the fair.
