Highland City Council set for parcel sales, public works bids Aug. 4; recent meetings lack published minutes
Highland City's most consequential business is on the Aug. 4 City Council agenda, where members are scheduled to consider the sale of city-owned orphan parcels and several public works bid awards. All recent meetings on the city's calendar were noticed as agendas only, with minutes not yet published, so no decisions from those sessions are confirmed in the record.
July 21 City Council
The City Council agenda listed an action item to amend the municipal code on right-of-way permit security and bonding, including removing the one-year warranty for non-excavation permits. Discussion items included e-bike rules and potential changes to city code, a review of the Community Wildfire Preparedness Plan by the Fire Department, and a work session on detached accessory dwelling unit development code updates. Communication items covered Flock camera terms of service changes and parking regulations in Town Center. Minutes have not been published, so outcomes are not yet in the record.
July 27 — Highland Fling Committee and Truth in Taxation notices
The City Council issued two separate notices of quorum for July 27. One indicated council members may attend a Highland Fling Committee meeting, with no decisions, ordinances, or public hearings scheduled.
