HARRIMAN CITY COUNCIL TACKLES PROPERTY MAINTENANCE AND NEW APPOINTMENTS IN BRIEF MEETING
The Harriman City Council sped through a concise 18-minute session on Tuesday evening, focusing on new property maintenance standards and filling a local board position.
In the absence of Mayor Wayne Best, Vice Mayor Alicia Harris led the meeting at City Hall. The agenda featured discussions on stricter property upkeep rules presented by City Attorney John Owings.
