The Glasgow City Council will meet Monday, Jan. 12, with several ordinances returning for second readings and new business centered on long-term financial planning for the city’s water and sewer system.
Among items listed under old business are three ordinances advancing to second reading. The first involves rezoning approximately 13 acres of property located north of Lakeview Boulevard near the intersections of Cleveland Avenue and Forrester Road. The measure would change the zoning designation from Light Industrial to Highway Service Business District.
Council members will also consider a second reading of an ordinance formally accepting Beltline Boulevard as a city street. Additionally, the council will also have a second reading for an amendment to an ordinance establishing an ethical conduct code for city employees and officials.
New business includes the first reading of an ordinance authorizing the issuance and sale of City of Glasgow Water and Sewer Refunding Revenue Bonds. The bonds would be used to refinance certain outstanding obligations of the city’s water and sewer system, according to the agenda.
Council members will also receive a notification of an executive order. The order relates to the job description for the position of administrative assistant within the Department of Public Works.
In addition, council members will be notified of a pending list of municipal appointments, which are expected to come before council for approval at the Jan. 26 meeting.
The meeting agenda includes several announcements related to the upcoming Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday on Monday, Jan. 19. Luska J. Twyman City Hall and Public Works administrative offices will be closed, along with the city landfill. Trash normally collected on Monday and Tuesday will be picked up Tuesday, Jan. 20.
