In this episode of Wilmington Weekly, I preview the Wilmington City Council workshop and regular meeting scheduled for Thursday, March 5, 2026.

Council will meet at 6:00 pm for a public workshop followed by the 7:00 pm regular meeting. This episode walks through what will be discussed in the workshop and what legislation appears for formal readings and possible votes.

Topics on this week’s agenda include:

• Clinton County Hazard Mitigation Plan presentation and adoption

• Landfill Bridge over Lytle Creek bid authorizations

• Landfill bond legislation under Finance

• Draft ordinance review regarding downtown parking signage, including Shoemaker’s proposal and a compromise suggested by Service Director Crowe

• Second reading on legislation related to the potential acquisition of the East End school property

• Resolution authorizing an opt-out natural gas aggregation agreement with IGS Energy

• Supplemental appropriations and financial reports expected at the meeting

The workshop is where council reviews and discusses legislation in detail. The regular meeting includes formal readings and votes.

I’ll recap what happens and highlight any developments after the meeting.
