Walked in to city council meeting at the tail in, just as they voted to go into closed session. I understand everything on the agenda passed, which means we have updated definitions of micro-breweries, Fair Days (allowing public consumption of alcohol) for the Hangar 9's Cartoon Network Carnival Event (the idea of consuming alcohol at a Cartoon Network event is bemusing but animation has gotten much less aimed at children over the years). There was also a presentation on water and sewer rates and changes that might need to be made.
Also passed was an ordinance allowing the issue of bonds to pay for a new fire station on the west side of town, back behind the new Walgreen's drugstore. It's probably a good idea to go ahead and replace the existing fire station since it is over 50 years old, located in a location that does not allow easy access by fire trucks and has a number of structural defects. Funding to cover the bonds will come from the increase in the sales tax passed a few years ago. Additionally, in 2018, some funding obligations to the school district end, freeing up additional money for bond servicing.
