Monday, May 12 is another double-header for Council, containing both (a) another Work Session at 5 p.m. (to continue working on the budget), plus (b) the regularly scheduled Council Meeting at 6 p.m.

Note that there’s no “public hearing” (i.e., public comment) component to the Work Session, but there is to the regular Council Meeting. Also, I’ve provided both meeting agendas below separately, so you’ll be able to tell what is happening in which meeting. To sign up to speak, contact the Clerk at [email protected] no later than 2:00 pm the day of the meeting.

As usual, see the City of Laurel’s meeting page for the official record, and if any agenda item holds interest for you, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me as your voice helps me shape legislation and decisions.

Watch live online via LaurelTV or the MyLaurel app, or on your TV via Comcast Channel 996 (HD)/ 71 (SD) or Verizon FiOS Channel 12.
