Summary
At its May 19 meeting, the Newton City Council unanimously approved the consent agenda, which included tax releases, sewer adjustments, a pyrotechnics display permit for the American Legion Fairgrounds on July 4, 2020, and an ordinance to waive agreement with the North Carolina Municipal Power Agency Number 1.
The Newton City Council approved its consent agenda unanimously at the May 19, 2020 meeting. Council Member Jerry Hodge moved approval of the consent agenda; Mayor Pro Tem John Stiver seconded the motion and it passed without objection.
Items listed on the consent agenda in the minutes included tax releases; sewer adjustments; consideration of a pyrotechnics display permit for the American Legion Fairgrounds on July 4, 2020; and consideration to approve an ordinance to waive an agreement with North Carolina Municipal Power Agency Number 1 and the City of Newton. The minutes reference ordinances, resolutions and proclamations as on file in the Office of the City Clerk; the transcript does not include the full text of those documents.
