Just in: Mayor Williams calls 3 Special Council Meetings

The renewal of the 8-mill levy that expires this year is the topic for all three meetings. Each will start at 7:30 p.m. in council chambers. As soon as the clerk of council office tells us if NCT will be able to televise any or all of the meetings, we'll do an update with that information.

According to the Board of Elections, if council decides it wants to put the 8-mill renewal levy on the November ballot and/or a smaller levy for a specific purpose like street repair, it must pass a resolution as soon as possible to that effect and send it to the Hamilton County Auditor. Upon receiving council's resolution as to the type of levy and its purpose, Dusty Rhodes has five days to send a letter back to council certifying each levy. Then council must pass a second resolution, attach the letter from Dusty Rhodes, and deliver both documents to the Board of Election by 4:00 p.m., August 23.

Special Meeting dates:
Thursday - July 19th

Friday - July 20th

Monday - July 23rd

7/19/07 UPDATE: NCT will broadcast all 3 meetings live on cable Channel 4, per the the clerk of council's office this morning.
