located at 3135 South Richmond Street, 1350 East Miller Avenue, 1354
East Miller Avenue, 3142 South Highland Drive, 3144 South Highland Drive,

that encompasses but is not limited to a roundabout situated at

the parcels identified above, are more fully identified on the proposed
Final City Plats that are currently being prepared. The properties to be
transferred are also identified in "Draft renderings of interlocal

(R 19-11)
#2 . Setting the date of Tuesday, October 8, 2019 at 7 : 00 p.m. to
accept public comment and consider adopting an ordinance that would
authorize temporarily closing a portion of 2100 South Street between
approximately SR-201 and 7200 West Street. Modified access to area
businesses will be maintained during the closure. The reason for the
temporary closure is repeated illegally dumped tires and other debris in
the area. Sensitive wetlands in the area have also been degraded by the
illegal activity. The temporary closure would allow municipal and
community organizations to draft plans for enforcement and clean up for
the area. View Attachments
