There are plenty of local activities to keep us all warm and active this week, including a double dose of meetings with the city council and board of education both in session, a full slate of school sports action and a couple of other activities thrown in the mix.
Tonight (Monday) the Belle Plaine City Council meets in a work session at 5 p.m. and regular session at 6 p.m. at City Hall. Council members will begin wrestling with the budget for the upcoming fiscal year in their work session at 5 p.m. Items listed on the regular meeting agenda include approval for a private contractor agreement for tree removal and an engineering service agreement for acquisition of snow removal equipment at the airport, a payment on the aquatic facility and the second of three readings on a change in the city’s curfew ordinance.
Both meetings are open to the public.
