Harrison Council approves annexation services resolution, routine code updates and an appropriation amendment
Summary
On April 3 the Harrison City Council unanimously approved a resolution certifying services for post‑annexation, adopted updated replacement code pages, and approved an appropriation amendment; a public commenter asked the council to have Duke Energy evaluate a circuit tie‑in for Carolina Pines.
The Harrison City Council on April 3 voted to certify that city services are available for a post‑annexation area from Harrison Township, approving resolution 4 20 18 on a unanimous roll call.
Council then approved a routine ordinance adopting current replacement pages to the city's codified ordinances (ordinance 8 28) and an ordinance amending appropriations to various city funds (ordinance 9). Both measures passed on roll call with all members recorded as 'Yay.'
During the visitor comment period, Paul Cox of Carolina Pines urged the council to ask Duke Energy to evaluate a tie‑in that would feed Carolina Pines from Progress Way. Cox said such a tie could improve neighborhood reliability and protect a pumping lift station at the bottom of the subdivision. Mayor said he would forward Cox's request to Duke Energy for evaluation and that the council would solicit follow‑up information for the city's website.
Committee and staff reports included: an economic development update noting permits for a wine and beer bistro at 108 Harrison Avenue and a UDF application for a new store/gas station at New Haven and Carolina Trace (variances to be considered in April); a law committee briefing on pending cell tower legislation and potential dispensary regulation; streets committee notice that reconstruction on Flintstone Drive is staged and a road closure is scheduled April 5 at Drive Fork and Short for about three days; and a Tree Board announcement of an Arbor Day seedling giveaway tied to April 27's Arbor Day.
The council also reported two revolving loan approvals of $20,000 each recommended by Hamilton County for facade and interior work on downtown buildings. The meeting concluded after routine business and a roll call to adjourn.
