Crestview council OKs car show, new subdivision

CRESTVIEW — Meeting for the first time in 2016, the Crestview City Council rapidly worked its way through a relatively short agenda.

During the Monday evening meeting, city leaders:

• Distributed awards for parade entries and business window decorations for the Main Street Crestview Association's annual Christmas parade.

"It's one of the greatest events we do as a city and we have to keep expanding it," Mayor David Cadle said. "This year we added another block, and it was lined with people all the way."

• Amended the council's Rules of Procedure to allow the administrative assistant to the council to receive requests for special meetings in the city clerk's absence.

The order of business was also amended to include "opening of the meeting" and provision for old business unresolved from previous meetings to be discussed.

• Unanimously approved providing support for the Spanish Trail Cruisers Club's annual car show, which this year will be April 16 and will include the city's official centennial birthday party.

• Unanimously approved plans for the Camille Cove subdivision on Live Oak Church Road. Developer Paul Cassidy agreed to pay a $3,191.12 recreation fee as the lot available for park use was less than half an acre and too small to turn into a city-maintained park.
