On Tuesday, July 15, at 5:00 p.m., the Florence City Council is scheduled to convene at City Hall to deliberate on a comprehensive agenda that encompasses various important matters. Among the key topics for discussion are requests for rezoning, contracts related to infrastructure, and the establishment of a City Poet Laureate position.
Public hearings will take place regarding the rezoning of 10.7 acres located on Chisholm Road, which is proposed to be converted to multi-family residential use. Additionally, there will be discussions on rezoning 42 acres on Erskine Drive for residential business purposes. The council will also consider a significant contract valued at $625,915 aimed at sewer replacement, along with lease approvals that would allow for outdoor dining at two local eateries.
Another noteworthy item on the agenda is a resolution to officially designate a right of way as Major Lathom Lane. Furthermore, the council will cast votes on the creation of a City Poet Laureate position, which would come with an annual honorarium of $1,500. The meeting will also address several maintenance and service contracts that require attention.
As the session draws to a close, there will be an opportunity for public comments, followed by reports from council members and Mayor Andy Betterton, providing a platform for community engagement and feedback.
