BOE, City Council Meetings Tuesday
Agendas for both the City Council and Board of Education meetings Tuesday are posted online.
Click here for the council agenda. The agenda-fixing meeting is 7:30 p.m. in City Hall Library.
The board agenda is on the district's web site. All school board meetings are now held at 1200 Myrtle Avenue, the former Jefferson School building that is now the new administration complex. The work and study meeting begins at 7 p.m.
Neither agenda appeared to have any earth-shaking items. It is good news that the council is on the verge of appointing a permanent tax collector. If the council approves on Oct. 21, Marie Glavan will receive a four-year term during which she will attain tenure. Glavan recently reported the highest tax collection rate in many years and has described to the council strategies to maintain and increase the rate in coming years.
Chalk it up to meeting fatigue, world-weariness or flagging interest in blogging, this writer may decide which meeting to attend based on the ambiance, not the content. City Hall Library has really dim lighting and hard wooden chairs. The school board meetings are held in the overly bright former gymnasium, which is outfitted with folding chairs for the public. Neither venue is appealing or comfortable, which actually leads to the third possibility, staying home and reading a book or listening to music. Since Mark Spivey began reporting for the Courier News, it is a safe bet that any big news will show up in print.

Hey Bernice -- I've got one of those fold out canvas chairs that seats two with cup holders and handy dandy side pockets. You are welcomed to borrow it. ;-)
Believe me, I have thought of bringing my own folding chair!
Bernice
Folding chair, umbrella or lamp depending of the site, and even a pair of pina coladas, will do it for me.
