Baldwin City Council to move to Tuesday meetings

The Baldwin City Council voted on Monday to have its regular meetings on Tuesdays starting with the new year.

Beginning Jan. 3, the council will meet on the first and second Tuesday of each month. The council will continue to meet at 7 p.m. at the Baldwin City Library.

The move has long been suggested to avoid a scheduling conflict with the Baldwin school board’s monthly meeting on the third Monday of each month. The move also allows the council to avoid changing meeting dates that conflict with Monday holidays.

The Council also approved a grant for a mural project at 608 High St., which is owned by a limited liability corporation of partners Rick Dietz, Dave Hill and Alan Wright. The grant will provide $3,000 for the $7,760 project.
