Town Council — 2024-11-21

The November 21, 2024 Centreville Town Council meeting was called to order by President Ashley H. Kaiser with all five council members and senior staff present; the November 7 minutes were approved as amended. The Council approved closing Lawyers Row on December 2 for the Heck with the Malls event, heard updates on Centreville Day (including a possible makerspace, courthouse renovation impacts, a popular business word-search promotion, and permit/grant progress for 102 N. Commerce St.), and agreed to submit and manage a grant request for the town’s 250th Birthday Commission. A donation request from Jaime Johnson was approved for budget items B (Services) and E (Events) totaling $1,300. In old business, Council reviewed Ordinance 12-2024 (site plan review procedures) and set a public hearing for December 5, and discussed Ordinance 11-2024 (sidewalks), with members noting they favor retaining the snow-removal time limit in section 134-7 while expressing broad reservations about the ordinance’s specifics.
