The Council then addressed
provisions of the proposed Holly Springs Town Council Procedures Manual. Members gave input into changes that could be
made to the draft. The draft was then
amended and provided for consideration in December.
The Council then scheduled their

Council indicated a desire to hold the retreat at Pine Needles Lodge in
Southern Pines rather than in town or at Rose Hill Plantation. The Council said the Pine Needles
accommodations were uniquely suited for the long work session.

of the work session would be the FY 2006-07 operating budget and the updated

agenda and a packet of supporting materials would be prepared.
