4. Sponsorship Policy
The council will consider changes to the city’s policy for sponsoring community events, programs, and activities to ensure they enhance strategic goals. The city is frequently asked to purchase tickets and sponsor events to benefit local organizations.
5. Holleman Easement
After a public hearing, the council will consider abandoning a small public utility easement on Holleman Drive near Wellborn Road. The applicant plans to construct a commercial building. The easement is no longer necessary.
