What this means
The Council released the city’s claim on a sanitary sewer easement for specific properties, subject to payment of the recording fee, which lets the property owners move forward with their request. The City Engineer was asked to start the process to rename a portion of 39th Street to Paralympic Street, and signs will be installed to honor Senior Pastor Dr. Carl A. McCorkle at 48th and Avalon. The Council created a small Ad Hoc Committee to coordinate film and entertainment matters, and asked city staff for a budget and schedule update on the Convention Center expansion. The Council also approved settlement steps in two lawsuits arising from a mid-February flooding incident, including authorization of up to $160,000 in one case.
