The Common Council will be discussing the proposed waste management costs and sewer rates in the city of Dunkirk something that has been heavily focused on in recent months at both budget meetings and council meetings.
Both laws were tabled 3-1 at the Jan. 5 meeting and both will be addressed at public hearings held starting at 5:20 p.m.
In approving the budget, council moved forward with both increases. However, no comment from the public took place.
Another focal point of the Tuesday meeting is the appointment of Erica Munson as interim city assessor. Current assessor Tom Mleczko, whose term runs through Dec. 31, is resigning from office effective Jan. 28. Munson, if appointed, will receive a salary of $36,000 a year, a stipend of $4,000 a year and a full benefit package. Mleczko will be reappointed for one month starting Jan. 29 to help with transition.
