Please note that due to a scheduling conflict for the mayor, the Board of Works & City Council meetings, regularly scheduled for today, Monday, August 16th, have been changed to Monday August 23rd at their regularly scheduled times.
However, due to advertised notice to open bids for Rose Street watermain extension, there has to be a Special Board of Works meeting @ 6:00 p.m. on the 16th for the only purpose of opening the sealed bids, there will be no other business conducted at this meeting.
The Board of Works & City Council meetings, scheduled for Monday, September 6th, have been rescheduled to Tuesday, September 7th, due to the Labor Day holiday. The meetings will take place at their usual times.
