Summary
The Mt. Moriah surface lot lease was amended month-to-year with clawback protections, and the board pushed for visible 'public parking' signage — the lot currently has almost none, so drivers don't know it's open to the public.

City Commission - Jun 25, 2026
The city owns the former library at 460 E. New England Ave., which Blue Bamboo leases for $11,000 a month — doubling to $22,000 in September. The commission must decide whether to preserve it as an arts hub with concessions, seek commercial tenants for the upper floors, or pursue other uses, all while facing potential state property-tax cuts and budget pressures.
