What's on this agenda

Knightdale's Town Council works through a long consent agenda and two public hearings. On the financing side, the council holds a public hearing on an installment financing agreement of up to $9,495,000, arranged with First Tryon Advisors, to buy the Lofts building (20-year term) and new fire apparatus (10-year term). The council also approves the development agreement for Faison Reserve, a 58.85-acre mixed-use subdivision from Old Faison Partners LLC with up to 184 homes and a commercial outparcel, built in seven phases and tied to construction of the Widewaters Parkway Extension Bridge; a rezoning for a small mental-health office practice at 5845 Farmwell Road; and an update to the flood damage prevention and environmental protection chapter of the development ordinance.

The rest of the consent agenda is routine business: minutes from three prior meetings, a meeting schedule amendment, a PEG cable interlocal agreement, advisory board appointments, a military banner policy, a future park master plan, alcohol permits for town-run special events, an arts council contract, two public safety grants (Firehouse Subs and Axon TASER replacement), an ABC Board youth camp grant, a budget amendment, a new grants and special revenues fund, a bond reimbursement resolution for next year's vehicle purchases, deputy finance officer and review officer appointments, street names for three subdivisions, a right-of-way dedication, and a position classification plan update. The council closes the meeting to discuss a personnel or legal matter under state law.
