Two Alexander meetings scheduled for May 18 & 19


There will be two meetings next week held in Alexander. The city council will hold its regular monthly meeting on Monday, May 18. The planning commission has scheduled a special meeting for Tuesday, May 19. Both meetings will be held in the courtroom at city hall. The time for the council meeting is 6:00 PM and the planning commission meeting time is 6:30 PM.

According to the city council agenda council members will, “Discuss city attorney’s recommendation on park property.” For the past several years city officials thought the City Park consisted of two combined parcels owned by the city. About a year ago Mayor Paul Mitchell was contacted by the owner of the portion of the park near Highway 111, offering to sell it to the city. As it turns out the owner never signed over the property to Alexander.

The planning commission’s special meeting is to hear a proposal by Jonathan Hope of Hope Consulting to rezone northeast corner of East 2nd Street and Main Street for multi-family buildings. The commission is also expected to set a date for a public hearing on the request.

Both meetings will be following Federal and State guidelines for social distancing due to the ongoing CoVid-19 pandemic. Face masks are optional.
