Seminole County agendas: 67-acre rural boundary proposal, 308-unit Slavia Rd rezone, $800,000 meter contract
Four Seminole County boards were scheduled to meet in the past two weeks, and none of those meetings had published minutes as of Oct. 19. The public record available this week shows what was on the agendas, not what was decided. Among the items listed: a proposal to remove about 67 acres from the county's Charter Rural Boundary, three rezoning requests including a 70-unit townhome project and a 308-unit multi-family project, and an $800,000 contract for a Cellular Meter AMI Upgrade.
