The rezoning was approved with a statement of consistency and reasonableness and with the conditions of approval included in the application signed on 01/03/2025; Councilmember Miss Archer moved the ordinance and a second was recorded. The RTZ annexation application was also moved and seconded and the motions carried.

Attorney Leland Wilford, speaking for the applicant, said the company supports a multi‑use pathway along the Gordon Road side of the property but opposes a pathway along GLP 1 Way. \"We would support the installation of the multi use pathway along the Gordon Road side of the property,\" Wilford said. He said the applicant opposed a pathway along GLP 1 Way because that road is \"heavily traversed by delivery truck traffic,\" \"only leads to a bridge over train tracks,\" and \"directly feeds onto Novo Nordisk's secure personal property.\" He asked the council to consider public‑safety risks for pedestrians.

Miss Archer framed her motion by citing the town's growth plan and land‑use policies, saying the request is consistent with the town's comprehensive growth plan and with Future Land Use map designations for employment centers. In her remarks she referenced Goal LU‑1 and Policies LU‑1.3 and LU‑1.4 as supporting the rezoning.

Council approved adoption of the conditions of approval that accompanied the application. The transcript records vocal ayes and the mayor declared the motions carried; specific roll‑call tallies were not provided in the meeting record.

No further changes to the project's site plan or timeline were stated on the record at the meeting, and council moved on to subsequent items after the votes.

Coppola said Johnston County recently sent revaluation notices and that the county has posted three informational videos explaining the revaluation process; he directed residents to the Johnston County website for details. \"This step right here is getting the properties revalued in terms of the current valuation, in the current market,\" Coppola said. He also explained that as the town proceeds through the FY26 budgeting process the town and county will consider a new tax rate and that staff will provide a revenue‑neutral rate comparison tied to the current 65¢ rate. He cautioned residents not to assume taxes will automatically rise by the percentage of the valuation increases and urged them to review the county materials.

Coppola told the council that the elevator at town hall had been out of service for roughly a month, that a delayed part has arrived, and that staff expect a Department of Labor inspection next week with hopes the elevator will be working by the end of next week.

On weather, Coppola said staff are monitoring a system that could arrive late Friday and that the town will consider measures if needed; he did not forecast impacts to town services at this time.

The trailer listed proposed episode topics including building permits, downtown parking, library services, the inspections department, parks and recreation, the Clayton Harvest Festival, employment opportunities, the Clayton Center, extraterritorial jurisdiction, Clayton public power, outage messaging, and Christmas events.

Staff said they plan to have the next steps ready by the council's next meeting. No council action or vote was required for the update.
