On July 1 the Highland City Council unanimously approved multiple consent items: two special-event permits (Schlafly’s Summer Luau and Battle for Brayden), a cemetery grave ownership transfer, adoption of Bill #24-78 to abolish the Telecommunications Advisory Board, and Bill #24-79 authorizing change orders for council chambers (including ADA hearing-assist work and a beam repair requiring a second engineer's sign-off).
The Highland City Council approved a series of routine and project-related items at its July 1 meeting.
Consent actions approved unanimously by roll call vote included the minutes from the June 17 Regular Session; a special-event permit for Schlafly’s Summer Luau on Aug. 3 (12 p.m.–9 p.m.) with use of Plaza Park and restroom facilities, requested by Cody Lowe; a special-event permit for Battle for Brayden, a Sept. 7 fundraiser at the KC Hall presented by The AlphAs Gym Foundation, NFP and described by representative Travis Tilton; and a transfer of ownership for Grave Space #6 in Lot 63, Block 7 from Highland Home to Jean C. Melanson and Nancy L. Melanson.
