COUNCIL TO HOLD PUBLIC HEARING ON '24 BUDGET, DORA PROPOSAL

(Richmond, IN)--Richmond Common Council meets Monday night with a couple of important issues on second reading, which means they’re up for public comment.  There are six ordinances on the agenda that all deal with the 2024 budget and salaries for elected officials, police, firefighters, and sanitation workers.  Also on second reading Monday night is an ordinance that would create a DORA – or Designated Outdoor Recreation Area – in the Depot District.  Passage of that ordinance would allow alcoholic beverages to be carried outside under certain conditions.  Monday night’s meeting begins at 7 o’clock.  As always, you can catch it live on WCTV.
