Alexander council meeting Monday, September 21

The Alexander City Council is expected to vote on an ordinance establishing criteria for the placement of used manufactured homes in the city. The ordinance is on the agenda for the Monday, September 21 meeting and will replace an existing ordinance, with some improvements.

Also on the agenda, there is one item listed under “New Business,” “Storm Water Discharge Regulations.” Under the “Announcements” section items included are, “Animal Shelter” and “Update on Circle K.” The construction of a Circle K, at the corner of Highway 5 and Alexander Road has been in the works since early this year. The one main issue has been access to a sewer line.
