City Council Advances Zoning Code and Revaluation Study
The council passed a new code updating ordinances to state law and discussed a 1969 revaluation of real and personal property. A $27,000 expert firm was referred for study as part of the revaluation plan. Building permits rose in 1968 versus 1967 and 1966, signaling growth. Urban renewal looms with a funding increase after court support, while a Halloween parade and convention travel were approved.
