The Milton City Commission met for its regularly scheduled
meeting last Thursday, May 9, 2013 in the Milton Municipal Building. The
commission discussed the upcoming Swap Meet to be held at the Milton City Park
the weekend of May 11-12, 2013. Mayor Denny Jackson informed the Commissioners
about a phone call conversation he had with a resident expressing concern about
the care of the animals at the Swap Meet. Jackson instructed board members to
walk around and make sure the animals are being cared for over the weekend. Commissioners
also expressed ideas about what to do about vendors who set up a day early. The
concern is that these vendors get a free day to distribute their ware because
they show up and begin selling the day before the Swap Meet begins. Commissioner
Lynn Comeaux asked the board, “If they (vendors) come early should they pay
more?” The Commissioners agreed to take
time to look around Friday and discuss it more at another meeting.
In other business, the Mayor reminded the board that they
needed to finalize the annual operating budget for fiscal year 2013-2014. The
Commissioners will have a budget workshop Monday, May 13 at 6PM. Among the
concerns Commissioners face when preparing the budget will be to discuss increasing revenue by
raising taxes. Once the board finishes the budget, they will have two public
readings of the budget before it can be enacted by the end of June.
The Milton City Commission meets on the second Thursday of
every month at 7PM in the Milton Municipal Building located at 10179 HWY 421
North in Milton. The meetings are open to the public and residents are
encouraged to attend. The next regularly scheduled meeting will be June 13.
