Awards, Recognitions and Announcements.
Mayor Smith stated that the Council recently approved a plan to transfer the responsibilities of the Downtown Development Committee (DDC), which provided input and direction regarding zoning cases in the Town Center area, to the Planning & Zoning Board (P&Z). He explained that because of the legalistic nature of transferring those responsibilities, the DDC was eliminated. Mayor Smith noted that the City values the contributions of the DDC members and would like to recognize them tonight. He also encouraged those individuals to continue their service to the community in other capacities. Mayor Smith added that the City is working to implement a new process that would allow citizens to provide formal input concerning downtown issues.
Mayor Smith, with the assistance of Vice Mayor Jones, presented awards to the members of the DDC who were present in the audience.
