A group of Commerce High School students will make a presentation to the Commerce City Council Monday night about recommendations for cleaning up around the city’s reservoir.
The city council meets Monday night at 6:30 in the Commerce room of the Commerce Civic Center.
Joe Costyn’s two environmental science classes have looked at the city reservoir with an eye toward improvements related to the control of litter and erosion caused by vehicles “mud bogging” at the site. The class was scheduled to conduct a litter pick-up at the city reservoir Thursday.
Other items on the brief agenda include:
•a public hearing on plans to submit an application for a community development block grant
•approval of a license to sell beer and wine by the package for the new owner of the Corner Station
•a request to sell back to the city five cemetery lots. Other members of the same family will then repurchase the lots, according to city manager Clarence Bryant.
•two requests from the Downtown Development Authority, one to hold the City Lights 5K Road Race at 8 a.m. Saturday, June 26, and the other to hold the Easter Parade Saturday, April 3, at 10:45 a.m.
•activity reports from the various city departments
•a financial update
•possible continued discussion of water and sewerage rate increases
•a possible request for a loan from local business through the Employment Incentive Program
