City Council - Regular Meeting

Let us pray. Gracious God, as we come together today to serve the people of our city, we thank you for this community and the privilege to working with it. We ask for your wisdom for our mayor, our city council, and the city staff. Give us clear minds, patient hearts, and a strong sense of justice as we make choices today. Help us listen well to one another, to respect diverse views, and to seek the common good for every neighbor. Grant us peace, unity, and integrity within our discussions. In your name we pray, amen.

Ms. Newton? Mayor, if this passes, this would go into the area that I represent. I know we've had opportunity to talk a few times about it. I have not heard any other feedback since our last meeting. I want to thank the applicant. This is a good, high-quality proposal. I want to thank staff. I know this isn't something that just came out of nowhere. I know this has been several months, almost a year in the making to get it to such a point. And with that, I'll make the motion to approve.

Thank you, Mayor. He's probably more directed towards Mr. Hill if he's available just for some questions.

Yes, thank you, Mr. Hill. I know all of us are very excited, and I'm particularly excited. I have a great district. There's not a lot of new build happening in my district, but as the city's kind of expanded and stuff, this is a great opportunity. I think everyone's very excited. I know staff and council and... Craig Alden Davis, everybody's put in a lot of work. I think it's already maybe somewhat been addressed, but I know that y'all have done a lot of work, and I know there are other government entities looking at doing fire stations in the upstate and stuff, but I know this is a pretty lar

That's awesome. I think we have a great design firm. Sounds like we're going to get a great construction firm.
