June 17 city council wrap.

The Bookseller commented with this council update last evening, and I'm lifting it to this stand alone post. I saw councilpersons Gonder, Benedetti and Gahan at the Exclusively New Albany gig (great crowd, overheated weather and a sprinkling of cold shoulders), circa 8:30 p.m., and knew that the meeting hadn't lasted long. There probably isn't much to add, but please do if the spirit moves you -- or just slobber all over your kitchen table.

If you'll excuse me, I have a USA - Slovenia match to attend at Bank Street Brewhouse.

City Council adjourned before 8 p.m.

They will meet Monday and Tuesday evenings for budget work sessions.

They will meet for a special meeting on Thursday, June 24, to introduce an annexation ordinance to take in the commercial district northeast of the Lee Hamilton Expressway at Charlestown Road.

They will meet in regular session on Thursday, July 1, at 7:15.

They will meet at 6 p.m. on July 15 for a work session on code revisions and then at 7:30 for the second regular meeting of July.

Ordinances expected to come forward on July 1 include a paving ordinance, a public safety funding ordinance, and an extension of the current sanitation contract with SIWS.

The 2010 budget was approved. The general fund budget was approved at $15,816,448, compared to the 2009 general fund budget of $14,499,572. It is possible that the tax cap/circuit breaker could reduce this number across the board, but it won't be known until Friday.
