UPDATE: Mayor Michael Owens messaged the Courier and explained that the reason for the back-to-back meetings Monday and Tuesday is to update the city’s insurance ordinance.
Here is what he sent:
We will be having two meetings next week. Monday and Tuesday. We need to update our Ordinance for the Insurance Premiums.
The State contacted us yesterday and said that we need to adopt their updated version as this could be revenue impacting, and its a request from the state we are moving posthaste on it.
The Mableton City Council will hold special called meetings on two consecutive days: Monday December 18 at 6:30 p.m. and Tuesday December 19 at 3:30 p.m. Take note that Tuesdays meeting is at 3:30 p.m. instead of the usual 6:30.
