In a recent city council meeting, members unanimously approved two significant resolutions, both passing with a 9-0 vote.
The first resolution involved the approval of item 9a, which was not elaborated upon in the discussion but was swiftly passed without further debate.
The second resolution, item 9b, authorized the purchase of a 7.5-acre parcel of real property located at the intersection of Tower Road and Southern Street. City Manager Michael Martinez introduced the item, inviting Travis Haynes to provide an overview. Haynes explained that this acquisition, discussed previously in executive session, would complement existing city-owned land and enhance recreational opportunities in the area.
The newly acquired parcel is strategically positioned near the Brighton Sports Complex and existing sports fields, allowing for potential future expansions, including additional sports fields and indoor facilities. This initiative aims to create a corridor for recreational activities, further enriching the community's sports infrastructure.
Following the presentation, Council Member Green motioned to approve the acquisition, with Council Member Plosky seconding the motion. The council moved forward without additional discussion, resulting in another unanimous vote in favor of the property purchase.
The meeting concluded with the council ready to address further agenda items, reflecting a proactive approach to community development and recreational enhancement.
