Norwood News and Views would like to report the Norwood City Council Meeting April 9, 2013.
The meeting opened up with money being missing. The Clerk of Council Donna Lakke informed council members that 3 lost Bonds/ Checks were missing or uncounted for. A emergency reading would be needed to inform Norwood City Council Members that this was the case. A vote was taken all all agreed there are 3 lost Bonds/Checks were uncounted for.
Council Members were informed the Mayor requested they go into EXECUTIVE SESSION IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING the REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING. Which means no media, no public, and no audio camers are allowed to know what is going on.
On March 26, Norwood City Council opened discussion for a tax levy for the Norwood Health Department. On the Tuesday April 9, 2013 the agenda had 4 INTRODUCTORY READINGS OF RESOLUTIONS. City Council Members then removed 2 INTRODUCTORY READINGS OF RESOLUTIONS. The remainder 2 INTRODUCTORY READINGS OF RESOLUTIONS resulted in considering another TAX LEVY. This tax levy is suppose to fund the Health Department Only. This would require a special election that the City of Norwood would have to pay for. The election would be called a SPECIAL ELECTION IN AUGUST. The decision has to be made before May 2013. Council will continue this discussion at the April 23,2013 meeting. Norwood News and View will attempt to bring you the results.
