Expect a long Council meeting today as councillors deal with the Barton/Tiffany outdoor shelter fiasco, the latest chapter of the saga being that $7.9-million was spent when Council only approved $2.8-million for capital cost.
The Assessment Review Board will hear a tax appeal from the development of the new rental building at 49 Walnut Street South (the new tall building on Main Street), the OLT continues with 1400 South Service Road, and a Town Hall tonight in Ward 2.
All meetings are at Hamilton City Hall unless otherwise noted.
