City staff has been working with the owners of the property located at 204 W Hickman Road, which sits directly south of City Hall on securing a 10 year lease agreement for approximately 3,300 square feet of space to accommodate Development Services. Prior to action by the City Council on entering into a lease on the property, the City is required to hold a public hearing to discuss the intent of proceeding forward with the lease utilizing general fund dollars and allowing the public the ability to comment prior to action.
