City Council Has Loaded Agenda Monday Night
The Galesburg City Council meeting Monday night might take awhile.

Aldermen have a full agenda Monday evening -- one that 7th Ward Alderman Jeremy Karlin theorized in a newspaper column over the weekend could lead to a four-and-a-half-hour meeting -- the limit for such city council meetings under ordinance.

Aldermen start at five o'clock with a closed session. Then, there are public hearings at six o'clock for the proposed Tax Increment Financing District redevelopment agreement relating to the new apartment complex for Carl Sandburg College students, and one for a proposed six-month extension of the current franchise agreement with Comcast for cable television in the city.

In their regular meeting at 6:30, aldermen will consider on a proposal first brought up last month to work with IDOT on turning the street lights at various intersections near U-S 34 and U-S 150 into yellow left-turn signal systems, a change to development and city ordinances regarding high-tunnel growing structures -- and, if that's not enough, five mayoral proclamations and the city's annual Youth Extra Effort Award.

Aldermen will do all that in council chambers at Galesburg City Hall.
