Thomasville City Council gathered Monday to approve the Feb. 15 meeting’s agenda, including a public hearing for the annexation agreement between Thomasville and High Point.

Discussion on the annexation will be the only public hearing for the meeting, which will be Feb. 15 at 7 p.m. at council chambers.

The agreement — a renewal of the one made in 1999, which expires March 1, 2010 — defines the area in Randolph County that can be annexed by either High Point or Thomasville during the agreement’s 20-year term.

The purpose of the agreement is mainly to encourage the orderly development of the unincorporated areas near the two municipalities.

“It’s important that communities understand where each other stand,” said City Manager Kelly Craver. “It helps create orderly growth. It makes for a lot smoother relations between the counties.”

Besides a special presentation by Mayor Joe Bennett, the regular session of the Feb. 15 meeting will also include:

• Consideration for Condemnation – Dilapidated structure at 19 Jordan St.

• Consideration of Capital Project Ordinance – Baptist Children’s Home Collector Line Improvement Project and 2009-10 Capital Reserve Fund Budget Amendment.

Consideration of Grant Project Ordinance – Thomasville CDBG Hook-up Grant Project

Consideration of 2009-2010 General Fund Budget Amendment – Parks and Recreation Lawn Maintenance

Consideration of Request for Resolution of Support for Government Bond, Stamp and Coin Program to Aid Veterans
