During a recent town council meeting, key discussions centered around community development services, personnel updates, and a public hearing for a liquor license application.
The council highlighted the importance of community development services, particularly for individuals looking to start new businesses or construction projects. The town manager emphasized the value of attending Wednesday committee meetings, where various departments—including water, sewer, and fire—provide essential information to prospective developers. This collaborative approach aims to streamline the process for those unfamiliar with the necessary steps to initiate their projects.
In personnel news, the finance department welcomed Alicia Young, a new hire with 23 years of procurement experience from the city of Phoenix. Her expertise is expected to enhance the department's operations.
The meeting also included a public hearing regarding a liquor license application from Speedway for two locations: 910 South Feline Highway and 701 West Highway 260. Town Clerk Tracy Bailey confirmed that the application was properly processed and publicly posted, and after a brief discussion, the council unanimously approved the motion, passing it 7-0.
Additionally, the town manager encouraged community participation in upcoming events, including a Flag Day ceremony and a ribbon-cutting for a new splash pad, both scheduled for Friday at 10 AM and noon, respectively. These events aim to foster community spirit and engagement.
