Bottom line

City commissioners will meet at noon Tuesday instead of at their traditional meeting time of 6:35 p.m. The meeting features a light agenda of mainly routine bill paying and other administrative matters. The lone item on the city’s regular agenda is to conduct a sale for $19.8 million worth of bonds to pay for previously approved water and sewer improvements.

Background

Commissioners are meeting at noon because they will be together all morning at City Hall for hearings on the 2008 budget, and to receive updates on budget cuts being made to the current 2007 budget.
