City Center Project

We had a public hearing, two committee meetings, and our first council meeting of 2020 on Thursday.  Topics included:

• Re-zoning of Baumanns Properties at 4563 Hudson Drive to C-2 Limited Retail
• Request from the Administration for Council to support an application to apply for a state capital improvements grant
• The approval of several Fire Department positions
• Hiring of several new city employees to fill positions recently vacated

• What are the overall park maintenance plans and objectives to deal with the conditions and concerns that have been voiced about our current parks prior to the addition of new parks to maintain
