Council agrees to gravel right-of-way for Advent Christian Church parking, denies exclusive use
Summary
Advent Christian Church asked to use public right-of-way for parking; council agreed to have the area graveled for parking but clarified the church will not receive exclusive rights to the space.
Mayor Kevin Hester informed the council that Advent Christian Church requested permission to use the public right-of-way along Jackson to W 1st Street for parking and said the church would purchase gravel for the surface. City Planner Rollin Harper told the council it is the city's authority to decide how the public right-of-way is used.
Council agreed to have the area updated with gravel to accommodate parking but made clear the action would not convey any exclusive rights to the church. The city did not formalize a lease or exclusive easement in the March 16 meeting; staff will coordinate the gravel work and ensure the arrangement remains nonexclusive.
