Committee report night
Seven Bluffton council committee reports are on Monday's Bluffton council agenda.
The unusual number of reports is due, in part, to a new year and a new council committee structure.
Reports will be from:
• Safety services
• Streets, alleys, lights and sidewalks
• Finance
• Ordinance
• Parks and recreation
• Utilities
• Cultural affairs
The minutes of those committee meetings are in the council packet attached at the bottom of this story. Below is a list of council committee and members of those commitees.
