Council establishes one meeting per month schedule through January and defers road improvements
In an effort to streamline operations during the holiday season and allow the Finance Committee time to review project funding, Council voted to move to a monthly meeting schedule starting in October. Additionally, a decision on the Dr. Humphries and Mt. Olivet Road improvements was deferred for two weeks to ensure a thorough review of the associated budget.
