What's on this agenda

The board holds public hearings on a wastewater system development fee update and the FY 2027 budget, including a proposed 2-cent property tax increase and a 15% water and sewer rate increase. It considers a $415,000 purchase of land at 325 Wagstaff Road, a consultant for the South Park Community Center renovation, and a first-reading rezoning at 313 Raleigh Street. An eight-item consent agenda covers a Main Street facade grant, street resurfacing funds, and condemnation for the Sunset Lake Road widening.

Meeting recap

What happened, drawn from the records published after the meeting. Minutes

At the public comment period, Norma Coble spoke against the town's proposed Hilltop Needmore Town Park project. The board then adopted the Water and Wastewater System Development Fee Analysis 5-0; no one spoke at that hearing.

How the votes went

Every recorded vote passed 5-0: the minutes, the weapon retirement resolution, the wastewater fee analysis, the eight-item consent agenda (a single combined motion), the Wagstaff Road purchase and its assignment from Terrible Creek Properties, the South Park Community Center consultant selection, the preliminary subdivision plat, and adjournment. No vote was taken on the FY 2027 budget, which returns June 1, or on the 313 Raleigh Street rezoning's first reading.
