Tonight’s Jefferson City Council Meeting agenda promises to bring one of the longer meetings in recent months.
The Consent Agenda is a mix of building permits for David Story, Richard and Francis Turner, and Avery Ventures, as well as various City election procedures.
The Action Agenda includes approval of a new motorcycle rally, some additional street signage on Jamison & Harrison and one at West Delta. The West Delta item is actually on East Delta, so discussions should not occur due to improper notification on the agenda.
Other items include discussion on JEDCO Comprehensive Strategic Plan, action on items to accept the USDA Community Development Block Grant for drainage improvements from Broadway and Polk to the river, additional sewer lines, approving the hiring of an additional police officer, and giving the City Attorney permission to proceed with litigation with AT&T.
The agenda follows:
