On The Agenda

This week of City government activity will start with the Mayor and Council work session tonight at 7:30 at City Hall.

The first of the two items on tonight's agenda is a discussion with the contractor who will redesign the Gaithersburg website. A survey for the general public to take is posted on the current website, but the contractor also wants to get the input of the city's elected officials.

The second item tonight is a joint work session with the Planning Commission to talk about the draft land use element that would amend the 2009 master plan.

A closed executive session will follow the meeting to talk about pending or potential litigation.

On July 14, the Board of Appeals will hear two items at their 7:30 p.m. meeting at City Hall.

The first will be an application for a special exception to permit an adult daycare facility for up to eight people at 200 Professional Dr.

The second will be an application for a special exception to permit Verizon to build a cell phone antennae onto an existing Pepco tower northwest of the intersection of Travis View Court and Travis Avenue.
