The

Fayetteville City Council has once again decided

that it is unnecessary to conduct a workshop

prior to its regular meeting.

The

workshop scheduled for tonight has been cancelled

due to a lack of agenda items, City Clerk Judy

Stephens said Monday. The regular meeting will be

Monday at 7 p.m. at City Hall.

The

other workshop scheduled for this month, set for

Aug. 2 before the Aug. 7 regular meeting, was

called off for the same reason.

The

only item likely to be voted on Monday is a

contract with the state Department of

Transportation for the construction of Jeff Davis

Drive turn lanes from Lanier Avenue to Jimmy

Mayfield Boulevard. The contract is expected to

amount to $224,357.70.

The

remainder of the $550,000 total cost will be

picked up by the impact fee fund, according to a

city staff memo. City officials expect to bid the

project within two months.

Public

hearings are on the agenda concerning the

annexation and rezoning request for the proposed

Deer Pointe development on the west side of town,

but those will not be ruled on because the

Planning and Zoning Commission has not yet voted

on the development plan and is expected to table

it for another month at Tuesday's regular

meeting.
