The Morrow City Council meets at 6:30 p.m., followed by the regular business meeting at 7 p.m.
The work session agenda includes a review of the June 14 minutes and ordinances on the fiscal year 2023 budget and 2o13 Juneteenth holiday.
Morrow Center manager Warren Thomas also will give a presentation.
The unusually short regular meeting agenda includes a second reading of the FY 2023 budget, a first reading of an ordinance to add Juneteenth as a city holiday in 2023, and an executive session on personnel matters. Lieutenant Bill will receive a five-year service pin.
Also on the agenda: approval of minutes from the June 14 work session and business meeting and the June 21 special called meeting, which was a seven-minute public hearing on the proposed FY 2023 budget. No speakers were noted on that agenda.
The budget would give “all eligible employees…if they meet certain standards” a $4,000 raise on July 1. It also “fixes the number of established Morrow full-time positions at 89,” which “may only be increased or decreased through approval of the Mayor and City Council.”
