Council Meeting this Monday

Just a reminder that the council meets this Monday at 7 pm at the Ruston School Building, 5219 N. Shirley Street, at the top of the south stairwell. The newly installed council was very organized at its last meeting on December 3rd, despite the fact that 3 of the 5 members had only held their seats for an hour or so when they passed the 2008 budget. Highlights (or low-lights depending on your point of view) will be forthcoming in the next few days. Here is the agenda for the meeting:

• Call to Order
• Flag Salute
• Agenda Approval
• Approval of Minutes: December 3rd Council Meeting
• Mayor's Time (mayor presents his issues of concern)
• Council's Time (each council member does the same)
• General Public Comment (audience members have 3 minutes for their issues)
• Business:

• Mayor's recommendations to reconsider the 2008 budget
• Resolution 410: National Flood Insurance
