Items below that I find particularly interesting are:

  • The appointment of a new City Attorney, N. Lynn Board.
  • A report on the City’s strategic planning retreat.
  • A public hearing on the proposed application for Olde Towne to receive Enterprise Zone designation from the State.
  • Discussion of the historic designation of the England-Crown Farm Site in Crown Farm.
  • A memo outlining the City’s position on the M-83 alternatives.
