We need some sandwich ideas to break the monotony of turkey and swiss. Anyone have anything interesting and easy? Different bread (homemade?) or homemade garlic mayo?

I could use a few new ideas in this area myself!

As the Decatur City Commission annual retreat starts today, here’s an item from last week’s meeting that is worth passing along.

The Monday before last, the Decatur City Commission unanimously tabled the YMCA’s request to rezone two residential lots on Maediris Drive, covered HERE, citing varying levels of and reasons for discomfort about the plan that would expand the institutional zoning into the residential neighborhood. This followed almost two hours of discussion and presentations from the applicant and residents, along with a lengthy discussion by the commission.

Mayor Baskett first suggested tabling the item “indefinitely”, but then amended his motion to say that it would be tabled until the applicant again requests to come before the commission.  The mayor stated that he’d like to see any revised plan exclude any rezoning of the two residential lots on Maediris Drive.

You can view the full video of the item on the city’s website.
