The Plymouth Common Council will begin another attempt at passing a 2017 salary ordinance when it meets this evening. Back in August, the council narrowly rejected a salary ordinance on second reading, amid concerns about some changes made to the document since the time of its first reading. Tonight, a revised ordinance will be presented for first reading.
An ordinance for 2017 appropriations and tax rate will be considered on second and third readings. The proposed tax abatement for Viking Paper Corporation is also on tonight’s agenda. During its last meeting, council members declared the property to be within an Economic Revitalization Area. Tonight, they’ll hold a public hearing on the proposed tax abatement, before deciding whether to confirm their earlier decision.
In other business, the council will hear the Marshall County Economic Development Corporation’s annual report from president and CEO Jerry Chavez.
Tonight’s Plymouth Common Council meeting starts at 6:30 p.m., following the Board of Works meeting at 6:00. Tonight, the Board of Works will continue its discussion of parking on Harrison Street. Board members are considering whether to ban parking from Michigan Street west to Plum Street, due to the amount of truck and school bus traffic.
The Board of Works is also scheduled to hear a request for additional stop signs. A change order for the Boys and Girls Club sewer relocation project will also be considered.
