At its Jan. 18 meeting the Newton City Council approved the Jan. 4 minutes and unanimously approved the consent agenda, which included tax releases, sewer adjustments, ordinances to create capital project funds for the Young Drive and Westbrook Drive culvert replacement projects, approval of an easement for Charter Broadband on S.
