Portsmouth City Council will meet for the first time in April at the Shawnee State University Ballroom starting at 6 p.m. on Monday.
PORTSMOUTH Portsmouth City Council will reconvene for the first time this month on Monday, a meeting with 11 items on its agenda and multiple appropriations at stake.
Starting with third reading, the council will review two pieces of legislation focused on renewable energy and a possible lease agreement for a museum.
The former would allow the voters of Portsmouth a say in whether or not the city should adopt a Wholesale Electricity Purchase/Renewable Energy Program. As City Manager Sam Sutherland said in a letter, Athens and Chillicothe have enacted similar systems and the council would still need to draft legislation depending on the vote.

NEW BOSTON Flooding was on several council members’ minds at the Village of New Boston Council meeting.
Members of the council met Tuesday for their regularly scheduled meeting and discussed the potential flooding threats due to the snow and ice melting and rain that occurred earlier within the past week.
“We got all the pumps running,” Village of New Boston Mayor Junior Williams said. “We have had an electric issue, we have had to get a large generator out of Ashland, Kentucky. We lost some power to some pumps, but they are all working now.”
