Planning - General Administration Mission Statement -'Whv V/e Exist To provide a strong, comprehensive approach for the future development of the City through a wide range of activities, including economic development, land use planning, housing policy, transportation projects, historic preservation, open space conservation, and neighborhood improvemeniefforts. Sienificant Budeet & Staffins Chanses for FY 2014 There is no proposed change in the total budget request for FY 2014. However, you may notice a shift between the funding allocation of Planning Department funds and CDBG funds for two positions - the Economic Development Planner position (currently vacant) and the Staff Planner position.. The reason is that the Economic Development Planner spends significant time working on CDBG projects, while the Staff Planner spends limited time on CDBG projects. This change is overdue. As an update to last year's budget narrative, we did promote the Housing Assistant to Housing Coordinator, and cut the Housing Assistant position, thereby reducing the number of total staff. Recent Accomplishments ¡ Vy'orked with City Solicitor, City Engineer, and engineering consultant to provide comments to the Energy Facilities Siting Board on Footprint's proposed natural gas facility at Salem Harbor Station. o Helped coordinate startup of the Salem Harbor Station Stakeholder group to provide input on Footprints' proposed facility. o The first construction phase of the Salem Wharf was completed, which consisted of $ I .4 million in landside improvements for Salem Wharf including utility installation, seawall construction, base paving and upgrading of terminal building. Additional construction funding for the next phase of the Salem Wharf project was acquired, including $2.5 million in Federal Ferry Discretion funds and $ 600,000 in State Seaport Council funds. The City of Salem has now begun construction of the marine structures for this second phase.

Improvements included removal of several landscape beds to make the mall more pedestrian-friendly in terms of ease of walking and to improve the aesthetics. Construction documents are underway for additional improvements to take place this spring 2013, including removal of additional landscape beds, refurbishing of the fountain at Washington Street, and removal of some cobblestone areas and replacement with brick.
