City Council News
Our local City Council and the FBCC family have been in the news in recent days due to the application of Sigel's Liquor Store to locate next to The Jungle, our children's facility. During the City Council meeting last week, many of our members expressed opposition to this proposal and did so in a graceful and respectful manner. The final vote on the application will occur on Tuesday, October 19. Due to our written opposition and the fact that our land represents 20.1% of the adjoining land, the City Council will be required to have 6 of their 7 members in favor of the application in order for it to pass. As of October 6, the City Council had received only 63 letters of opposition. To make your convictions known, please address your correspondence as noted below. To view details, click here.
