DESCRIPTION:Town Council Regular Meeting\n\nCouncil appropriates $1\,592\,974 from Garner Fire-Rescue's fund balance to pay off outstanding fire apparatus debt\, part of a shift to a more sustainable equipment-funding model aligned with Wake County.

None of these get a vote tonight -- they're teed up for the retreat. Council also closes the meeting to consult privately with the Town Attorney.\n\nAgenda: https://pub-townofgarner.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx?Id=a637f140-a255-4322-a250-993eb1b7d483&Agenda=Agenda&lang=English\nWatch: https://pub-townofgarner.escribemeetings.com/\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/1932

DESCRIPTION:Town Council Special Meeting\n\nDay one of the Town Council's two-day planning retreat at White Deer Park. Council reviews progress on its Strategic Plan with a SOAR analysis\, then works through three development-policy questions raised by council members: whether to change vested-rights protections for already-approved projects\, options for notifying developers of project changes\, and a cost-of-services study -- compared with a 'Knightdale model' -- on whether new development pays its own way.\n\nThe afternoon turns to the preliminary FY27 budget: revenue and expenditure projections\, council priorities\, a multi-year financial model\, and continued Capital Improvement Plan discussion. No votes\; this is planning and discussion only.\n\nAgenda: https://pub-townofgarner.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx?Id=f038e869-4b5e-4478-8c2b-a1c44f91ea66&Agenda=Agenda&lang=English\nWatch: https://pub-townofgarner.escribemeetings.com/\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/1934

LOCATION:Ronnie S. Williams Council Chambers Garner Town Hall 900 7th Avenue | Garner\, NC 27529
DESCRIPTION:Town Council Work Session\n\nGarner's Town Council work session on April 28 is dominated by growth: three separate items preview big changes to land use along two of the town's key corridors\, and planning and legal staff brief the Council on options for handling zoning text amendments\, including the legal process for a temporary development moratorium\, without proposing one yet.\n\nCouncil gets an early look at a revised concept for the Village at Big Branch\, which has shifted from a mixed-residential subdivision to a plan blending industrial uses with fewer homes\, and at a rebranded 'Garner Innovation Park' near Jones Sausage Road and I-40\, where the town's economic development arm now wants industrial flex space instead of the workforce housing it originally proposed. The council also gets a first look at the five-year Capital Improvement Plan ahead of budget season and hears an update on the Lake Benson Park master plan.\n\nAgenda: https://pub-townofgarner.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx?Id=da0664dd-85ca-411f-8684-4c64053ec7f2&Agenda=Agenda&lang=English\nWatch: https://pub-townofgarner.escribemeetings.com/\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/1904

SUMMARY:Town of Garner: Town Council Regular Meeting
LOCATION:Ronnie S. Williams Council Chambers Garner Town Hall 900 7th Avenue | Garner\, NC 27529
DESCRIPTION:Town Council Regular Meeting\n\nTwo conditional rezonings head to a legislative public hearing\, and the council's only job on both is to close the hearing and send them to the Planning Commission. One would move about 3.75 acres on East Garner Road and High Hope Lane\, the Cencar Properties tract\, between two light-industrial conditional districts. The other\, the Enclave at Meadowbrook\, would shift roughly 27 acres on Hebron Church Road from Residential 2 to a denser Residential 4 conditional district. A third hearing covers a town-initiated rewrite of the Unified Development Ordinance's formatting and numbering\, with no policy change intended. Two other land-use items skip that referral: the council would vote directly on a 31-acre rezoning at 7615 Ten Ten Road\, from rural agricultural and commercial mixed use to commercial mixed use\, and on a text amendment letting funeral homes locate by right in Neighborhood Mixed Use districts.\n\nThe consent agenda carries two ordinances up for the second vote state law requires before a criminal penalty takes effect\, both adopted once already on September 1: changes to the traffic code and to the fire prevention code. It also holds $410\,000 in budget amendments\, split between finishing White Deer Park's splash pad and playground and covering utility relocation and rock stabilization on the Rand Mill Road project\, a funding agreement with Wake County that would pay for an Affordable Housing Plan consultant\, and three annexation petitions that would each set an October 6 public hearing for land on Old Stage Road\, Creech Road\, and Guy Road.\n\nAgenda: https://pub-townofgarner.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx?Id=71844bf5-b740-4c65-a6dd-593e0e31ac84&Agenda=Agenda&lang=English\nWatch: https://pub-townofgarner.escribemeetings.com/\nDetails: https://ncgovwatch.com/meetings/1876
