At-a-glance: council passes rezoning, bike‑ride appropriation and authorizes DHS grant application
Summary
Council approved the rezoning at 320 Military Cutoff Road (waived second reading), passed a $1,837 supplemental appropriation for two bike rides, established the Northern Riverfront Development District Committee, and authorized staff to apply for a 2026 DHS Port Security Grant with a local match; one special-use permit hearing was continued to Aug. 4.
Council's meeting included several formal actions: a rezoning for 320 Military Cutoff Road was approved and second reading was waived so the change was enacted the same night; an ordinance appropriating $1,837 to the MPO special-purpose fund for the River to Sea and Brunswick Heritage Riverside bike rides passed after first reading was approved and second reading waived; the council created a Northern Riverfront Development District Committee to oversee covenant compliance for identified parcels; and staff received authorization to apply for a Department of Homeland Security Port Security Grant (approximately $468,758 request with a $117,190 local match) that would, if awarded, pay for equipment including a SWAT robot and communications upgrades.
Council also voted 5–2 to continue a special‑use permit public hearing related to a private recreation facility until August 4. City staff said the continuation was requested because the applicant's sound expert was unavailable. The meeting concluded with a motion to enter closed session for negotiations and personnel matters.
