I’ve had my eyes opened in the meeting I attend at the Denver Regional Council of Governments, DRCOG, for example. DRCOG is the main conduit for federal transportation monies. This comes in the form of grants, usually 80 percent with the rest as local match. Millions and millions of infrastructure dollars for roads, pedestrian walkways, bike paths and transit programs get handed out each year. ]]> http://www.redstonereview.com/2010/08/mayors-corner-finding-funding-sources-for-a-small-town-is-always-a-challenge/feed/ 0 http://www.redstonereview.com/2010/06/the-mayors-corner-stay-up-to-date-on-town-issues-by-attending-town-board-meetings/ http://www.redstonereview.com/2010/06/the-mayors-corner-stay-up-to-date-on-town-issues-by-attending-town-board-meetings/#comments Mon, 28 Jun 2010 01:19:28 +0000 Richard http://www.redstonereview.com/?p=1882 LYONS – Coming to the Lyons Board of Trustee meetings is a good way to stay current on town issues, at least until we can figure out a way to webcast our meetings so you can listen from the comfort of your home. Board of Trustee meetings are the first and third Monday of every month. As of Monday, June 21 we are changing the meeting time back to 7 p.m. (from 7:30 p.m.) to allow staff, the board and the public to adjourn by a more reasonable time.]]> http://www.redstonereview.com/2010/06/the-mayors-corner-stay-up-to-date-on-town-issues-by-attending-town-board-meetings/feed/ 0 http://www.redstonereview.com/2010/05/the-mayors-corner-main-street-is-springing-to-life-in-lyons/ http://www.redstonereview.com/2010/05/the-mayors-corner-main-street-is-springing-to-life-in-lyons/#comments Tue, 25 May 2010 05:14:58 +0000 Richard http://www.redstonereview.com/?p=1766 LYONS - Main Street was hopping last Saturday as Celebrate Lyons unfolded in the downtown. It’s incredible what can be achieved when everyone pulls in the same direction. Town hall has worked hard over the past years to improve the business climate, enhance the attractiveness of Main Street and upgrade the basic infrastructure.]]> http://www.redstonereview.com/2010/05/the-mayors-corner-main-street-is-springing-to-life-in-lyons/feed/ 0 http://www.redstonereview.com/2010/04/new-town-board-gets-a-lesson-in-civics/ http://www.redstonereview.com/2010/04/new-town-board-gets-a-lesson-in-civics/#comments Wed, 21 Apr 2010 04:18:46 +0000 Richard http://www.redstonereview.com/?p=1647 LYONS – The new Lyons Board of Trustees will be sworn in on April 19th. I want to first acknowledge the outgoing members. Juli Waugh and Tina Schooler decided not to run again due to work commitments. Their contributions over the last two years are noteworthy. Juli has been instrumental in developing Lyons’ sustainability policies and programs and has been working to identify our options to improve the library.]]> http://www.redstonereview.com/2010/04/new-town-board-gets-a-lesson-in-civics/feed/ 0 http://www.redstonereview.com/2010/03/the-mayors-corner-voting-is-a-civic-duty/ http://www.redstonereview.com/2010/03/the-mayors-corner-voting-is-a-civic-duty/#comments Mon, 22 Mar 2010 02:44:08 +0000 Richard http://www.redstonereview.com/?p=1520 Mayor Julie Van Domelen Redstone Review LYONS – I just got back from a brief work-related trip (my day job) to Washington D.C. Although it was too early for the cherry blossoms, I’m always struck by the beauty and symbols of the city’s monuments and historic government buildings. When I left Lyons early in the week, it [...]]]> http://www.redstonereview.com/2010/03/the-mayors-corner-voting-is-a-civic-duty/feed/ 0 http://www.redstonereview.com/2010/02/mayor%e2%80%99s-corner-lyons%e2%80%99-new-look-fits-great-with-the-town/ http://www.redstonereview.com/2010/02/mayor%e2%80%99s-corner-lyons%e2%80%99-new-look-fits-great-with-the-town/#comments Mon, 22 Feb 2010 02:08:41 +0000 Richard http://www.redstonereview.com/?p=1387 By Julie Van Domelen, Mayor Redstone Review LYONS – With elections coming up, I’ve had many people ask so I wanted to let you know that I will be running for re-election. The last year as mayor has been a very challenging, fun and rewarding experience. Even thought it takes a lot of time and effort, it’s been [...]]]> http://www.redstonereview.com/2010/02/mayor%e2%80%99s-corner-lyons%e2%80%99-new-look-fits-great-with-the-town/feed/ 0 http://www.redstonereview.com/2010/01/mayor%e2%80%99s-corner-it%e2%80%99s-time-to-look-forward-as-economic-challenges-continue/ http://www.redstonereview.com/2010/01/mayor%e2%80%99s-corner-it%e2%80%99s-time-to-look-forward-as-economic-challenges-continue/#comments Thu, 21 Jan 2010 02:25:10 +0000 Richard http://www.redstonereview.com/?p=1265 In last month’s Mayor’s Corner column I reflected on the achievements and hard work of 2009, all in all a difficult year. It’s the beginning of 2010 and time to focus on the year ahead. For the town the biggest challenges are probably going to continue to be economic.]]> http://www.redstonereview.com/2010/01/mayor%e2%80%99s-corner-it%e2%80%99s-time-to-look-forward-as-economic-challenges-continue/feed/ 0 http://www.redstonereview.com/2009/12/the-mayor%e2%80%99s-corner-2009-a-year-of-chaos-comes-to-a-close-but-there-were-many-achievements-as-well/ http://www.redstonereview.com/2009/12/the-mayor%e2%80%99s-corner-2009-a-year-of-chaos-comes-to-a-close-but-there-were-many-achievements-as-well/#comments Fri, 01 Jan 2010 05:02:51 +0000 Richard http://www.redstonereview.com/?p=1100 This is the last issue of the Redstone Review for 2009 – a reminder of another year coming to a close. 2009 will stand out in many minds because of the economic crisis. But, there were a lot of good things achieved this year and I’d like to take a moment to acknowledge the hard work of Lyons businesses, the volunteers on our many boards, commissions and community groups, town staff and my fellow members of the Board of Trustees.]]> http://www.redstonereview.com/2009/12/the-mayor%e2%80%99s-corner-2009-a-year-of-chaos-comes-to-a-close-but-there-were-many-achievements-as-well/feed/ 0
