This week’s council agenda is SUPER ambitious! So instead of alcohol we are going to suggest some funny sodas to drink. We need all of our Yokels alert and ready to vote next month!

We are going to skip the part where Billy votes against the agenda, abstains on the budget adjustments, and then maybe votes for the minutes and maybe doesn’t. Because…we are tired of him and if Facebook likes are any indication, we won’t have to put up with the likes of him much longer.

The council has lots of county executive appointments to fill, plus a separate motion to fill some spots on the ethics board. We know from past experience that Kirby gets triggered when he hears the word “ethics”, so if he should have any objections sip on a Mr. Aahh!

Then it’s off to a vote on the Comcast agreement, moving some money around to open a detox center, tax rate adoption, 2019 budget ordinance adoption, and a vote as to whether or note there should be an Assistant Director in the Emergency Management Division. Whew! That’s a mouthful, isn’t it? We predict this portion of the meeting will take a good long time, but we really hope the tax rate, budget adoption, detox center and assistant director position all get approved. If not, slam back a six-pack of Swamp Juice, since our swamp still hasn’t been drained all the way.

It’s also time to vote on Jerry and Kirby’s merged Senior Tax Credit bill which we predict will make it through. Afterwards Bud is going to make a motion to create a workshop on school construction fees. A contentious issue in these here parts.

Finally, we wrap the evening up with two public hearings. The first one concerns a tax agreement and the second…..uh oh! is an amendment to the ethics code!!! If this doesn’t go well, sip nicely on your Zombie Brain Juice. Since that’s what we are all in danger of becoming soon.
