Council approves consent agenda including Harper Avenue streetscape application, utility agreements, contracts and board appointments
Summary
The council approved consent agenda items A–I — including a $10 million Harper Avenue streetscape pre‑construction LAP application, engineering contract amendments, NCDOT utility betterment agreements, capital project ordinances, a sidewalk cafe permit, and multiple board appointments — all by motion and unanimous voice vote.
Lenoir City Council approved its consent agenda of routine and capital items and confirmed mayoral board appointments at the June 2 meeting.
Items approved on the consent agenda included minutes from recent meetings; a resolution endorsing an initial Local Alternatives Program (LAP) application to the regional MPO for the Harper Avenue streetscape project (the project was described as having an estimated total cost of $10 million; the initial LAP application in the record covers pre‑construction costs including design, right‑of‑way acquisition and utility relocation); an engineering services contract amendment with McGill Associates for the Valdi's waterline interconnection project (additional services and surveying/easement mapping costs were read into the record); and two NCDOT utility construction betterment agreements tied to US‑321 intersection upgrades (city share amounts were read into the record).
Council also approved capital project ordinances for a consortium home program and a CDBG capital project and renewed a sidewalk cafe permit for FCOT Fermentables (conditions require removal of furniture when the business is closed and use of social‑district containers for alcoholic beverages). The consent agenda motion was made by Council Member Thomas and carried unanimously.
The mayor presented a slate of board appointments and reappointments across multiple city boards and authorities, including reappointments and new appointments for the ABC Board, Foothills Airport Authority, Bonora Housing Authority, Business Advisory Board, Planning Board/Historic Preservation Commission, Board of Adjustments, Recreation Advisory Board, and the Lenoir Tourism Development Authority. Council approved the slate by motion (Mayor Pro Tim Perkins moved to approve the appointments).
