Snow Threatens Tuesday Council Meeting

The Howell Township Council is scheduled to sign a sister city agreement with some distinguished guests from Mongolia on Tuesday night but Mother Nature may have other ideas.

Depending on how much snow we get tonight’s council meeting may not be held as scheduled meaning an agreement with representatives with the Sukhbaatar District would have to be signed at a later date. Also on the agenda Tax Assessor Greg Hutchinson is scheduled to give a presentation on the Property Tax Assessment Demonstration Program. More information on the program can be found here.

The advisory stretches from 6 a.m. until 5 p.m. with the bulk of the snow expected to fall between dawn and the afternoon.

On this date in 1817 Mississippi was admitted as the 20th state and in 1965 the Grateful Dead played their first concert in San Francisco. The International Space Station was officially opened on this date in 1998.
