Busy night for Lebanon City Council

There will be a new urban park going in on Madison Street in Downtown Lebanon. On Monday night, Lebanon City Council voted to accept property donated by First State Community Bank. Lebanon City Administrator Mike Schumacher addressed Council about the project.

Additional information and design requests for the project will be brought before City Council at future meetings. In other business, the council approved side letter agreements with firefighters and electric workers to reflect the raises that were put in place earlier this month by the city. The agreement means that the unions won’t ask for an additional raise this year.

The cost of the study will be no more than $10-thousand. The bill passed with a vote of 6 to 2 with Council members Gib Adkins and Sheila Mitchell voting against the proposal.
