Lometa council opens hearing on alley abandonment; no public opposition
Summary
The Lometa City Council opened a public hearing June 9 on a request to abandon an alley bounded by Senterfitt, Second, Oak and First streets. No members of the public spoke; the hearing was called and immediately adjourned after a motion by Councilmember Alex Witherspoon.
Mayor Derek Talley called a public hearing to order at 6:31 p.m. Monday to consider a request to abandon the alley within the block bounded by Senterfitt Street, Second Street, Oak Street and First Street. The notice said the hearing’s purpose was to allow affected members of the public to voice views to the City Council.
According to the minutes, "No citizens spoke with any concerns to this Alley Abandonment." After the lack of public comment, Councilmember Alex Witherspoon moved to adjourn the hearing; Councilmember Karen Chism seconded and "the motion passed and the Public Hearing was adjourned at 6:32 p.m." The minutes record the council members present and note one vacant council seat. The record does not show any formal vote tally or a final council decision on the alley abandonment request during this session.
