The Henderson City Council will hold a public hearing Monday, May 10 as it considers a request to annex parcels along Red Oak Road, which extends from U.S. 158 Bypass to Dabney Road.
The public hearing will take place at the beginning of the council’s regularly scheduled meeting. The city clerk received a petition to extend the city limits to incorporate the road, just over seven acres.
Because of COVID-19 restrictions, public comments should be submitted via email to City Clerk Esther McCracken at emccrackin@ci.henderson.nc.us by 3 p.m. on Monday, May 10. The comments will be read aloud at the meeting and should be limited to three minutes per person.
Other agenda items include:
- a request for grant funding to partially reimburse the city for purchase of bulletproof vests for new police officers and to replace broken or outdated vests. The grant comes from the U.S. Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Assistance and would pay up to half the cost of a vest, which has a pricetag of more than $9,600.
- a request from City Engineer Clark Thomas involving a stretch of 12-inch waterline along Nutbush Road. The waterline is “a critical loop in the Kerr Lake transmission/distribution system,” according to agenda information. The waterline easement through Corps property will remedy a buildup of a disinfection byproduct that must be flushed regularly. This action involves consent of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and is expected to cost $7,500 to fix. Little Environments PLLC was awarded the bid for the project. The money will be moved from the Kerr Lake Regional Water System’s reserve fund to the capital improvement plan fund.
