Officials urge vaccination and note new board members Kay Emerson Andrew Nussbaum and incumbent Kelly Jones were sworn in. The board hired Cynde Frick as executive director of finance and reviewed cash reserves aiming to raise unencumbered funds by about $4 million.

Roundabout favored to curb crashes on Wakarusa Corridor
Engineers estimate a roundabout could cut severe crashes by 59 percent versus 47 percent with a traffic signal. The project would cost 450000 to 600000 more to build but save on maintenance. Public input showed strong support for roundabout, with 23 residents and businesses attending a meeting along Wakarusa Drive. The plan includes dual southbound left turn lanes at Clinton Parkway and new north and southbound turn lanes at Turnberry Drive and Brandon Woods Terrace, plus 10 foot shared use paths on both sides. A memo notes dual paths raise cost about 400000 but engineers push them for higher bike and pedestrian capacity. The entire project runs from Research Park Way to Clinton Parkway and will replace all pavement with a concrete surface, with construction possible in late summer if approved.
