Hiram City Council will meet Thursday evening for a final July work session in preparation for the regular August meeting, and plan to discuss several topics including the joint redevelopment plan/opportunity zones, a sign variance application submitted by Bojangles, the municipal court fines/fee schedule, the live scan fees, appointment of ethics board members, the requirement for a soil, erosion, and pollution control ordinance, and review of editing to an amendment to the city's sign ordinance.

 

The council also met last Thursday for a work session, followed by a second public budget hearing and a special session for the purpose of voting on the adoption of Resolution 2013-10, to approve the FY2014 Operating Budget.

 

Prior to the public hearing and work session, the council withdrew for an executive session and following their return, Mayor Doris Devey opened the public hearing during which, the council received no public comment.

 

The council then used their work session last week to discuss the proposed FY2014 Operating Budget.

 

Mayor Devey then called the special session to order and the council voted to approve the resolution to adopt the FY2014 Operating Budget.

 

In their previous July meeting council members voted to adopt Resolution 2013-11, which set the 2013 Millage Rate and rolled the rate to 0.0 percent. And, at the same meeting, the council also adopted Resolution 2013-12, which set the Tiered Water Rates for FY2014, which will go into effect on September 1, 2013.

 

The council return next week for their regular August meeting.
