What's on this agenda

Garner's Town Council accepts a $6,279,759.94 federal Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership grant to fund the first phase of Yeargan Park, matched dollar-for-dollar with money from the town's 2021 bond program, and extends two interlocal agreements with Wake County covering animal control services through the end of 2026 and enforcement of the county's nondiscrimination ordinance through June 2027. The council also resets the public hearing on the White Oak Storage annexation (originally set for August 4) to August 18, and approves a Third Amended Master Development Agreement with development partner LMG, extending the deadline to finish a revised agreement and closing documents for the downtown project.

Outside the consent agenda, the council reviews a new Participant Guide the Legal Department wrote to help residents testify at quasi-judicial hearings before council or the Board of Adjustment, and hears a presentation on a feasibility study for microtransit, an on-demand transit service, following a technical assistance contract examining whether it could work in Garner. The meeting closes to discuss pending litigation and a possible property acquisition.
