What's on this agenda

The council's biggest land-use item is a quasi-judicial hearing on a special use permit for the Timber Drive East Mixed Use development: 300 multifamily apartment units and nine retail buildings totaling about 95,600 square feet on a roughly 43-acre site off US Highway 70 East. The consent agenda includes a resolution formally establishing the new Garner Housing Advisory Committee, a $629,393 bid award for the 2026 Street Resurfacing Project, authorization for Wake County to collect the town's property taxes in FY27, and a resolution setting a June 16 public hearing on the voluntary annexation of about 31 acres on Clifford Road (the Wrennmoor Pines case).

Under new and old business, the council will consider conveying town-owned right-of-way to NCDOT for the Benson Road widening project, hear an update on the town attorney's ongoing code revision project, and vote on appointments to town boards and commissions recommended by the Nominations Committee. The meeting opens with recognition of retiring Fire Codes Administrator Bill Lamm and graduates of the Spring 2026 Garner Civic Academy, and has no closed session.
