The Public Affairs and Safety Committee will discuss the 2013 York and Vallette Farmer's Market and a liquor license request for Mariano's.

Public Works and Buildings Committee will discuss the Howard Avenue proposed sidewalk special service area, sanitary sewer system improvements (check valve draft policy), fuel contract purchase order and bids for the fire hydrant and water main valve repair project.

Public comment will be welcome at every committee meeting; each will take place at City Hall, 209 N. York St.
