City debates debt rise over capital projects and EOC site
Green wins a council seat as Mayor Eagle and John Byrd Jr. join, but support for a safety building wanes. The new council may push the project, with Shifflett advocating a grassy site behind the community development office near the Municipal Building. The key issue is whether the Emergency Operations Center should be housed with public safety or at a separate location to improve efficiency and reduce costs.

Carbone Rogers of Mothers & More says more options arise in a strong economy.
