The council approved an action in authorizing the Dublin Economic Development Corporation to expend funds for the demolition of a structure at 120 E. Blackjack, owned by the Dublin Rotary Club as a DEDC project. There will be an asbestos check and if everything looks good, the demolition will start about the end of October.

Local, Charlie Bradberry, requested the council to agree to let him purchase and close an alley next to his property on Post Oak Street. The alleyway runs from the end of North Post Oak Street and it goes between the rodeo arena on Clinton Street. The motion was made to sell the property.
Chief of police, Bobby Mendez discussed building a kennel and concrete slab for his k-9 unit outside of the police department as well as an access to a sewer. A motion was passed for him to move forward with his plans.
