Summary
At its March 3, 2025 meeting the Mount Airy Town Council approved February meeting minutes and closed minutes, confirmed commission appointments, and introduced two ordinances (a municipal bond and a zoning-map amendment) with public hearings scheduled.
The Mount Airy Town Council reached several routine and procedural outcomes during its March 3, 2025 meeting.
Minutes: The council voted by voice to approve the February 2025 Town Council meeting minutes and approved two sets of February 2025 closed meeting minutes (one regarding a public works agreement and one regarding land acquisition). No roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript; chairs called for voice votes and members responded “Aye.”
Appointments: The council appointed Austin Dycus and Diane Bayless to the Mount Airy Sustainability Commission and appointed Michael Shippen to the Streets and Roads Commission. Each appointment was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; no recorded roll-call tallies are in the meeting transcript.
Ordinances introduced and hearings scheduled: The council introduced Ordinance 2025‑2 (municipal bond issuance for the land acquisition, design, engineering and construction of the Mount Airy Police Station) and set a public hearing for 7 p.m. on April 7, 2025. The council also introduced Ordinance 2025‑3 (to revise and amend the zoning map) and set a public hearing for March 24, 2025 at 6:30 p.m. The ordinance introductions were carried by motion and second, and hearings were scheduled to allow public comment before final votes.
Other procedural business included standard departmental reports and a motion to enter a closed session to consult with counsel on litigation at the meeting’s conclusion.
