Snowmass\u2019 elected officials signed off on their 2019 council goals while making a significant move to tackle their No. 1 goal in the same night.<\/p>\n

Affordable housing continues to top council\u2019s list of priorities, and at a meeting April 15, the town approved the purchase of 12 apartments at 250 Carriage Way.<\/p>\n

The town is acquiring the roughly half-acre property to add to its workforce-housing inventory for $2.85 million.<\/p>\n

Known as the Carriage Way apartments, the pale-green painted structure consists of four studios, four one-bedroom units and four two-bedroom units.<\/p>\n

Also part of council\u2019s housing goal is to address senior housing, specifically, its goal-setting statement reads, \u201cCouncil commits to a near-term strategy that will update the housing regulations, actively identify opportunities and partners to address senior housing needs and incentivize the creation of an additional 200 units.\u201d<\/p>\n

Along with workforce and senior housing, council\u2019s other goals outline plans to improve the town\u2019s community engagement; community building; safety, connectivity, parking and transit; and a continued commitment to resiliency and regionalism.<\/p>\n

Town Manager Clint Kinney at the meeting stressed to council how useful these goals are to staff, in terms of policy-making as well as budgeting.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt greatly influences a number of our decisions, not to the least of which is the annual budget,\u201d Kinney said.<\/p>\n

Council updates its goals every two years after a regular town election.<\/p>\n

With no changes on council following an uncontested race in the November election, the elected officials were in a unique position of reviewing goals they had previously set together.<\/p>\n

Their statement reads: \u201cAs our community inevitably evolves and changes over time, the council wants to ensure we remain a thriving, charming, fun, resilient, safe and emotionally connected community.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2019 goal-setting process commenced with a lengthy workshop in January. Council unanimously approved the goals, which can be viewed at http:\/\/www.tosv.com<\/a>, at the April 15 meeting.<\/p>\n
