From Steve Jones:

Staff met this week with representatives of the Medical Village development.  They are ready to submit an updated application for an assisted living facility at the hospital campus - they will also submit an updated plan that reflects some revisions since the original plan was approved - no surprises are anticipated.

Recovery Ways filed an appeal with the Board of Adjustment to overturn ZAPCO's and Council's decision to disapprove their special use permit.  The 30 day deadline on ZAPCO's decision has lapsed and the Board of Adjustment has no authority to hear an appeal of Council's decision.

From Chief Radford:
