The New Smyrna Beach City Commission on Aug. 13 approved Ordinance No. 44-24 on first reading, adding pain management clinics as a special exception in the B-3 (Highway Service Business) zoning district.

The meeting also produced a number of routine and substantive actions:

• Consent-agenda items passed largely by unanimous motion, including approval of the Armstrong Dock Agreement and Settlement for 800 South Riverside Drive, acceptance of a FY2023 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant for ballistic vests, use of CDBG funds for Pettis Park improvements, and multiple professional services awards for transportation engineering and skate-park design-build services.
• A proposal to convert the intersection at Ocean Avenue and Cooper Street to an all-way stop was moved and seconded but was denied unanimously.
• The Commission appointed Wilda Bennett to the Housing Authority and reappointed Rick Hawes and Lawrence Kelly to the Utilities Commission; the utilities reappointments carried 4-1 with Mayor Fred E. Cleveland voting no.
• In the City Attorney's report the Commission approved an amendment to legal services for Airgate Aviation litigation and unanimously approved hiring external investigator Vicky Sproat to investigate complaints submitted to HR, the City Manager and the Commission.
