What’s happening in local government?

Glenn County Observer

Orland City Council

Be like Byron. For as long as I have been around Orland government, Byron Denton has been around, acting as the proverbial gadfly, working to keep officials on their toes through constructive criticism and commentary. On Tuesday, Jan. 16, the Orland City Council plans to recognize Citizen Denton for his many years of service. The meeting gets underway at 6:30 p.m. at the Carnegie Center, 912 Third Street, in Library Park.

Also on the city council’s agenda is a couple of public hearings. In the first, the council plans to consider a tentative subdivision map and mitigated negative declaration for the Quiet Creek Subdivision project planned for northeast Orland.

The second hearing concerns proposed amendments to city water and sewer service charges. The council is to consider amending the water and sewer services schedule in order to establish new water and sewer rates for Calendar Year 2024, and provide a Consumer Price Index (inflation) adjustment thereafter.

Finally, presentations by and about the Orland Fire and Police Departments are scheduled to be made.

Willows City Council

The Willows City Council has a special meeting planned. At 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 17, the council is set to gather to approve the city’s mid-year budget review, adjustment, and general fund forecast, and discuss a potential sales tax measure. The Willows City Council meets at the Willows City Hall, 201 North Lassen Street.
