What's on this agenda

Day two of the Town Council's two-day planning retreat at White Deer Park. Discussion covers future-year budget items -- a stormwater utility fee study for FY28 and program-partner funding -- plus continued work on the Affordable Housing Task Force recommendations and a review of the Historic Downtown Garner Plan.

Council also gets a briefing on a staff workgroup studying artificial intelligence use, discusses council policies and procedures, and wraps up the retreat with reflections. No votes are scheduled; this is a discussion-only retreat.
