Board approves asphalt and fence reimbursement for Mogul Barbershop

The operator of Mogul Barbershop asked the board to fund asphalt paving, a six-foot fence at the rear of the property, and a handicap-accessible parking space in front, citing safety concerns for elderly customers. He presented before-and-after photos of prior work and asked for help to fix a rock surface that posed fall risks.

Staff recommended the request be treated as eligible for reimbursement at 50%. The board voted to approve a 50% reimbursement; staff recorded the eligible figure as $10,950 and, during the exchange, the chair computed a net figure recorded in the packet as $10,009.50. "I'm an operator of Mogul Bobbershop," the applicant told the board during his presentation.
