The Pineville City Council will hear several matters at its meeting this evening that deal with property use.

Four Zoning Committee reports on requests to change allowable use of property will be considered.

The committee meets prior to the council session.

Also to be addressed are seven proposed condemnation notices and seven condemnation hearings.

The council is expected to give final approval to the administration to proceed with securing up to $10 million for waterworks and sewer system improvements.

Financing will be with bonds issued through the Local Government Environmental Facilities and Community Development Authority of the State Bond Commission.

The funds will be used for constructing and acquiring improvements, extensions and replacements to the systems.

The agenda also proposes an executive session “to discuss potential legal action involving a former employee.”

Exceptions to public meetings in state law include legal strategy talks and threats of litigation State law allows closed session to discuss possible litigation when a formal, written demand has been made.

It also requires a statement identifying the parties and the demand be included with the meeting notice posting.
