Two rental-fee waiver requests from the North Baldwin Chamber of Commerce—one for Halliday Park Pavilion on Nov. 12, 2022, and one for the John F.

During council/citizen comments, Gladys Hunter of 112 Abernathy Avenue told the council she had cleared and maintained a wooded area next to her property for more than 20 years and placed a storage shed there; City Planner Clair Dorough told the council the shed sits in a right-of-way and would need to be moved. Mayor Robert A. Wills requested Hunter’s contact information so the council can review her situation. The meeting adjourned after a unanimous motion to do so.
