This session, open to the public, promises to address a wide range of community-related issues and updates, ensuring active civic engagement and transparent governance.

The meeting will commence with the traditional call to order and roll call, followed by a welcoming address.

Under the 'Old Business' segment, the Council will revisit the topic of community grants, a critical component for supporting local projects and initiatives. The 'New Business' section includes discussion on three important issues: the introduction of a new fence ordinance, updates on health insurance policies, and a review of speed limits on Lexington/Stanford Street.

Mayor’s report will highlight the recent Christmas Parade and include a legal update, ensuring that the community stays informed about significant legal matters affecting the city.

The meeting will conclude with a motion to pay all signed monthly bills followed by a motion to dismiss. The next regular monthly meeting date is scheduled for January 11, 2024.
