Prior to the votes on bids, a public hearing has held on a proposed rezoning of three lots adjacent to 102 Marion Avenue.

The city’s zoning board had denied the request to rezone the property from residential to business, and the council also denied the request.

One resident was present to show opposition to the rezoning but did not speak about the issue.

In other business, the council:

•Heard from several residents concerned about abandoned and derelict properties, maintenance of sidewalks and curbs, speeding and other traffic-related issues, progress of renovations to E.M. Henry Head Start Center, the lack of a sign at city hall notifying residents about the time of council meetings and the city’s minimum wage.
