Last week’s meeting was one of several recent government sessions that placed major land-use, infrastructure and public-safety items into the pipeline.

July 6 council meeting packs development votes and contracts

The biggest decision day in the coming week arrives Monday when the City Council holds public hearings and votes on several projects.

Specific dollar amounts tied to that incentive have not been released.

Separate public hearings will address the two conditional use permits reviewed by the Planning Commission — Midnight Ink and Universal Beauty School — as well as requests to vacate the 12th Street extension and annex 2.1 acres of city-owned right-of-way along SW Colbern Road.
