Outdoor Advertising -- The Council will be voting on resolution which will authorize City Manager
Kee Borges to execute a lease agreement with Martin Media for property at
Hamilton and Wellington Streets. The
agreement would allow Martin Media to erect an outdoor sign on the

the Planning, Economic Development, and Zoning Committee until details of the
lease agreement were known. (Item #15)

voting on a resolution authorizing City Manger Kee Borges to enter into
contractual agreements with other governmental agencies and businesses to
create the Capital Region Job Corps Center.

The Council will vote on an ordinance to appropriate $170,969 for the
construction of a day care center in unused space at the Dominic F. Burns
