What's on this agenda

Garner's Town Council has a September 1 agenda built around ordinance housekeeping and land use. On consent, the council sets an October 6 public hearing on a 41.61-acre annexation for Creech Road Homes, and takes required second votes to enact ordinance amendments to Chapter 11 (Offenses) and Chapter 18 (Weapons and Explosives) that carry criminal penalties -- both originally adopted August 18. Public hearings cover a 3.68-acre Timber Thompson Commercial annexation on Timber Drive, amendments to the Fire Prevention and Protection ordinance, and amendments to the Traffic Control ordinance including adoption of a new town Traffic Control Map.

The council is also set to appoint the first members of its newly created Housing Advisory Committee, filling three staggered terms with recommended appointees including Jasmine Johnson -- one of the candidates the council's Nominations Committee interviewed in July. There is no closed session on this agenda. Only the agenda was available, not minutes, so no outcomes are recorded here.
