This week in your City Hall, the City Council, the Mayor and the City Administrator will meet on the following items that are officially on the meeting’s agenda for 3/21/2022:

- Appointing (hiring) a new HR Director, Sara Morris.

- Appointing Esther Jackson to the Conservation Advisory Committee (a busy committee that keeps the City on track with environmental goals)

- Re-hiring a cleaning service to clean the City of Beacon’s public bathrooms. Miller’s Touch Cleaning Service, a Black owned business won the bid.

- Hiring of VAD Contractors to replace the roof on the Municipal Building (aka Town Hall)

- Authorizing permission to remove and replace the solar panels on the roof.

- Amending the Rules and Procedures for how the public can address the City Council, Mayor, City Council, and employees of the City of Beacon during Public Comment sessions every other week. While Beacon’s administrations have usually been publicly criticized or questioned, this administration has come into power after a time of regular protests in the racial justice reawakening period, emboldening more people to speak more strongly on many topics. The Mayor and City Administrator have thoughts to curb the enthusiasm, and the City Council responded with edits.

Tonight’s meeting has 2 Public Comment sessions, where anyone can speak on any topic, and no Public Hearings (official discussions from the public on a determined topic).
