Summary
Council accepted the planning commission recommendation and approved Ordinance 18-12 to rezone parts of 901 Eighth Street. The council also passed Appropriation Ordinance 18 O 2.21 to spend $21,529 in donations for repairs and pre-storm preparations at the animal control facility.
Radford City Council voted to accept a planning commission recommendation and adopt Ordinance 18-12, rezoning portions of 901 Eighth Street between R-3 (single-family residential) and B-1 (limited business). The council also approved Appropriation Ordinance 18 O 2.21 to spend $21,529 in donations for animal control facility repairs.
The planning commission’s recommendation was received by motion and approved by council vote. Seth, council member, summarized the commission’s view: "No. I think everyone on planning commission was excited about the possibilities and to see, an old structure breed new someone to breed new life in it. So I think everyone was happy to see this to approve this." The council then voted to adopt Ordinance 18-12 to rezone the parcels at 901 Eighth Street; the presiding officer announced "Having heard 4 affirmative votes, we can dispense with a second reading if so desired." The ordinance was carried by voice vote.
Appropriation and animal-control repairs: Council heard that donations totaling $21,529 had been raised since Hurricane Helene for animal-control recovery work. The presiding officer said the donations "will be used to offset the cost of cabinets and countertops at our refurbished facility as well as negate the cost for pre storm preparations." Chief Holdaway described the fundraising as "a testament to Adele and what she means to our community," and said the money comes from private citizens, companies and other animal-control organizations. Chief Holdaway said repairs are in progress and the facility is expected to be ready around March 15.
The council approved Appropriation Ordinance 18 O 2.21, authorizing $21,529 to be used for the animal control facility refurbishment. After the motion and second, council again voted to dispense with a second reading following a recorded voice vote with four affirmative responses.
