Variances For Central Park On City Commission List For Tonight

The Huron City Commission meets tonight at the Huron Municipal Building. The Commission will meet as the Board of Adjustments to consider variances and a conditional use permit relating to the Central Park Redevelopment Plan to turn the Huron University Campus complex into an aquatic park. Residents last week at a Hearing Examiner meeting expressed a number of concerns with many unhappy with a proposed camping area in the preliminary Central Park plan. When the Commission reconvenes, Commissioners will consider two change orders and hold a public hearing on a home occupation permit request. The Commission will consider approval of three resolutions including one that would indicate the City of Huron backs the Central Park plan. Five departmental items range from hiring recommendations to a recommendation regarding the handgun used by former police chief Doug Schmitt. The Commission will meet in executive session for negotiations and will hold a work session to review department assignments. The Huron City Commission meets tonight at 5:30 PM and the meeting is open to the public.
