The Elizabethtown City Council met for their first meeting of 2026 Monday.
The meeting was the first to be held in the council’s new chambers, located at 212 West Dixie Avenue. The council approved an ordinance on its second reading that updated city code for meetings of the council and the city’s boards and commissions to be held in the chambers.
An ordinance rezoning 2916 Dolphin Drive was also approved on its second reading.
“This ordinance amends the official zone classification for the property located at 2916 Dolphin Drive. from Neighborhood Commercial or C-2 to Regional Commercial or C-3 to allow for uses such as a hotel,” said City Attorney Ken Howard, reading from the ordinance.
The council approved two municipal orders. The first accepted several streets into the city’s maintenance system: Arnett Place, Mechanical Drive, Camping Circle, and part of Electric Avenue near the intersection of South Wilson Road.
After a closed session, the council approved the second municipal order, which authorized the purchase of 2.89 acres at 1117 Woodland Drive for $1.5 million.
The Elizabethtown City Council will next meet January 12.
