# City Council Meeting (Aug 27, 2024) **Body:** City of Asheville — City Council **Date:** August 27, 2024 12:00 PM EDT (2024-08-27T12:00:00-04:00) **Link:** https://sunshinemeetings.org/event/1531 ## Summary Okay, here's a comprehensive recap of the Asheville City Council meeting held on August 27, 2024. This recap is intended to inform citizens about the key discussions, decisions, and actions taken during the meeting. **Meeting Overview & Attendance:** The Asheville City Council convened on August 27, 2024, at 5:00 PM. The meeting agenda was extensive, covering a wide range of topics from financial matters and infrastructure projects to zoning changes and community initiatives. The meeting was held in person, with options for online viewing via [https://publicinput.com/n0356]. A notable disruption occurred early in the meeting when a member of the public repeatedly attempted to speak without following protocol, leading to requests for them to leave. **Key Discussions & Decisions:** The meeting commenced with a closed session addressing legal and personnel matters, citing North Carolina General Statutes. The council then unanimously approved a proclamation recognizing August 27-September 3, 2024, as Urban Trail Appreciation Week. A lengthy consent agenda was approved without discussion. Several significant items dominated the remainder of the meeting, including: * **Merriman Avenue Complete Streets Project Update:** NCDOT presented an update highlighting positive safety outcomes, prompting discussion about pedestrian crossing times and potential traffic flow adjustments. The council directed NCDOT to address these concerns through ongoing monitoring. * **Employee Recognition:** City Council recognized Jess Foster and Terrell Bowen for their contributions to the community, awarding them prestigious awards from the North Carolina chapter of the American Public Works Association. * **Conditional Zoning Amendment (179 & 144 Riverside Drive):** This proved to be the most contentious item. A proposal to amend the conditional zoning for a 240-unit residential building, removing commercial space and modifying design elements, was met with significant reservations. Council members raised concerns about the building's length along the riverfront, the removal of commercial space (contrary to community input), and potential impacts on the River Arts District. No vote was taken, and discussions will continue with the applicant to address these concerns. * **"Recreate Asheville" Parks & Recreation Plan:** The council unanimously approved the "Recreate Asheville: Shaping Our City’s Parks" plan, a comprehensive 10-year vision for the city's parks and recreation system. * **Contract Renewals:** The council approved resolutions to renew contracts with Accela, Inc. (permitting software) and Allbrite Cleaning Company LLC (hard floor and carpet cleaning services), recognizing the need for continuity in these essential city functions. * **Land Exchange with Duke Energy:** The council approved a land exchange, enabling Duke Energy to rebuild the downtown Rankin Avenue substation and potentially creating future development opportunities for the city. * **Paratransit Contract Ratification:** The council ratified additional spending for paratransit services provided by Buncombe County, ensuring continued transportation support for individuals with disabilities. * **Donation to Land of Sky Regional Council:** The council approved a donation of surplus computers and cell phones to the Land of Sky Regional Council, supporting their efforts to bridge the digital divide. * **Right-of-Way Closure (Hiawassee Street):** The council approved the permanent closure of an unopened right-of-way on Hiawassee Street, facilitating a land exchange with Duke Energy. **Public Comments & Community Input:** Throughout the meeting, public comments were received regarding the Urban Trail Appreciation Week recognition and the Merriman Avenue Complete Streets Project. During discussions on the Riverside Drive development, several council members voiced concerns about community input and potential impacts on the River Arts District. The earlier disruption involving a member of the public attempting to speak without following protocol was addressed by repeated requests from the council. **Action Items & Next Steps:** Several action items emerged from the meeting, including: * **NCDOT to address pedestrian crossing concerns on Merriman Avenue.** * **City staff and Duke Energy will explore options for addressing design concerns related to the Riverside Drive development, potentially including revisiting the proposal with the applicant.** * **Continued monitoring of traffic patterns and safety data related to the Merriman Avenue Complete Streets Project.** * **Duke Energy will explore options for graphical inserts on the fencing surrounding the temporary substation.** * **Staff to investigate opportunities for a historical marker related to reparations and provide an update to the council.** * **Staff will create separate categories for reparations and affordable housing on the hotel benefits table dashboard.** **Future Meetings & Important Dates:** * Public hearing scheduled for September 10, 2024, regarding the financing of city debt. * Public hearing scheduled for September 24, 2024, regarding the permanent closure of a portion of Sawyer Street. **Where to Find More Information:** Citizens can access the full meeting transcript, agenda, and related documents on the City of Asheville's website: [https://www.ashevillenc.gov/city-council](https://www.ashevillenc.gov/city-council) ## Agenda - [August 27, 2024, as Urban Trail Appreciation Day](https://sunshinemeetings.org/event/1531/item/17775) - [Approval of the combined minutes of the agenda briefing worksession held on July 18, 2024, and the formal meeting held on July 23, 2024.](https://sunshinemeetings.org/event/1531/item/17776) - [Resolution authorizing the City Manager to amend a contract with East Coast Truck Shop for Body Work and Paint Repairs to supplement Fleet Maintenance capacity.](https://sunshinemeetings.org/event/1531/item/17777) - [Resolution authorizing the City Manager to amend a contract with Atlantic Emergency Solutions for Standardization of Pierce Fire Apparatus.](https://sunshinemeetings.org/event/1531/item/17778) - [Resolution authorizing the City Attorney’s Office to institute a condemnation action to obtain a temporary construction easement for a slide repair project on Vance Gap Road.](https://sunshinemeetings.org/event/1531/item/17779) - [Resolution authorizing City Council to accept the U.S. Dept. of Energy Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant funds to purchase electric vehicles for the City’s fleet.](https://sunshinemeetings.org/event/1531/item/17780) - [Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with Surface 678 for the preparation of a park facility improvement plan for Recreation & Azalea Park.](https://sunshinemeetings.org/event/1531/item/17781) - [Resolution approving the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Annual Tax Settlement Report; and authorizing the Mayor to execute an Order of Collection for Fiscal Year 2024-25.](https://sunshinemeetings.org/event/1531/item/17782) - [Initial resolution authorizing the City Manager or the Finance Director to pursue and negotiate on behalf of the City debt financing associated with the refunding of the $42 million 2022 Limited Obligation Bonds, and setting a public hearing for September 10, 2024, to receive public comment on the financing.](https://sunshinemeetings.org/event/1531/item/17783) - [Resolution authorizing the City Manager to renew an existing Insurance Broker of Record contract with Legacy Risk Solutions for Fiscal Year 2025 and authorize providing the insurance services through June 30, 2026.](https://sunshinemeetings.org/event/1531/item/17784) - [Resolutions to permit the possession and consumption of malt beverages and/or unfortified wine at: 1.
