Council approves grants, appointments and downtown event closures in consent actions
Summary
By consent the council accepted a $17,456 DMDA grant for the Marietta History Center, approved appointments to boards and commissions, extended a temporary easement for North Park construction staging and approved adding South Park to the Marietta Gathering street closures.
At the Sept. 19 work session, several routine items were handled by consent across committee meetings.
Finance: The committee approved a budget amendment to accept a $17,456 Downtown Marietta Development Authority (DMDA) grant for interior painting and public-space improvements at the Marietta History Center's Kennesaw House.
Appointments: Personnel committee votes included appointments and reappointments to multiple boards and commissions by motion and consent: Suzanne Dent (Historic Preservation Commission, Ward 5), reappointment of Buser McClure to the Planning Commission for a three-year term, appointment of Christopher Eric Christopher Mitchell to the Construction Board of Adjustments and Appeals (Ward 5), and a reappointment (Martin Kendall / Martin Bridal language in the transcript) to the Historic Board Review (Ward 7) moved by council motion.
Events and easement: Parks staff won committee approval to add South Park to the Marietta Gathering street-closure footprint to accommodate vendors; public-works staff presented and the council approved a one-year extension of a temporary construction easement in North Park to accommodate elevator staging related to the court complex sheriff's office project; the extension preserves language limiting the easement to two years after the effective date unless further extension is approved.
These items were approved on committee consent or by simple motion without extended debate.
