## Summary

The Town Council will meet on February 9th to address a variety of important issues impacting Fletcher. The agenda includes approving routine items like meeting minutes and budget adjustments, as well as discussing significant changes to town codes regarding entry gates in subdivisions – a topic that may affect many residents. Council will also consider terminating the contract with Mills River Fire & Rescue and awarding a major street resurfacing project, which will impact traffic flow and road conditions.

Several key decisions are expected, including final approval of a budget amendment, the termination of the fire rescue contract, and selection of C & T Paving for the street resurfacing. A major discussion will center on potential annexations, specifically regarding an ABC store and a planned residential development. Residents interested in the future of their community, particularly those living in gated subdivisions or concerned about public safety services, should pay close attention to these discussions.

Finally, the Council will be discussing how to best utilize surplus funds and reviewing a mid-year tax collection report. Upcoming dates for future meetings, including an agenda review session and the annual Easter Egg Hunt, are also listed. Information on these topics will be presented by town staff and council members, providing an opportunity for citizens to understand the Council's priorities and potential impacts on their daily lives.
