Speaker 2, a committee participant who presided over the meeting, confirmed a quorum and opened new business by introducing Resolution 25-1-39, which would authorize the mayor and city clerk to accept a permanent drainage easement from Christopher and Marilyn Newsome. The resolution’s packet lists a legal description and an area of about 2,198 square feet. "We do have a quorum," Speaker 2 said before moving the item to full council; a second was recorded and the motion was forwarded.
The committee then considered Resolution 25-1-40, authorizing acceptance of a permanent drainage easement from Michael and Rafael Castorina. The packet includes a legal description and an area figure that the transcript records in unclear formatting (appearing as "10 47" square feet). Speaker 2 moved the item to full council and Speaker 3 seconded; the committee agreed to forward the resolution.
Finally, the committee took up Resolution 25-1-61, a right-of-way dedication from CP Number 3 19 LLC for roadway improvements. Speaker 1 moved to forward the resolution and Speaker 2 seconded; the committee instructed attendees to mark their ballots and the item will be sent to the full council.
The committee recorded no substantive public comments, had no pending items, and adjourned following the votes.
What happens next: the three resolutions will appear on the City Council agenda for final consideration and any formal votes or additional public hearings.
Provenance: The minutes approval and forwarding motions are documented in the committee transcript across the segments introducing the minutes (SEG 005–018) and the resolutions (SEG 021–044; SEG 045–069; SEG 070–095).
