Why should your constituents elect you? Well, because for far too long the property rights of the citizens of Raleigh have basically been disregarded and I’m someone who is a staunch property rights and natural rights champion. They should vote for me if they want to protect their property.
Some problems persist in the North Boylan neighborhood, which residents blame on a nearby hookah bar.
The city finalizes agreements for long-term leases with Edison Land, LLC for the Blount Street parking deck. Councilors also accepted a donation of three acres of land that will become part of the Walnut Creek Wetland Center, discussed the $21 million TIGER IV grant, and a decision on the Property and Casualty Insurance Broker Contract was delayed.
New software enables residents to add comments to City Council agenda items.
Under the new zoning code, city councilors will not be compelled to hold public hearings on certain cases, a policy that didn’t sit well with many Planning Commission members this week.
City councilors approved an economic development incentive grant to Citrix Systems for its expansion in Raleigh.
Lorena Akin had 60 seconds. In the short-term, the goal was simple: make a good impression on the dozens of Triangle locals gathered in the conference room in front of her. At the very least, that would probably earn her a spot on the nearby empty grid, which would soon map the agenda for the open government “unconference” CityCamp Raleigh. This is how an unconference typically begins. No set schedules, just a wall of empty time slots.
City Council approved a resolution for open government, a new location for an emergency communication center and Councillors discussed possible four-year terms instead of two.
