According to the Peoria City Council’s agenda for this coming Tuesday, item number 4 is as follows:
Communication from the City Manager and Corporation Counsel Requesting Adoption of an ORDINANCE Proposing the ESTABLISHMENT of GROWTH CELL 1-A SPECIAL SERVICE AREA, Proposing the ISSUANCE of BONDS, in an Amount Not to Exceed $6 Million, for the Purpose of Paying the Cost of Providing Special Services in and for Such Area, and SETTING a PUBLIC HEARING for FEBRUARY 14, 2006, at 6:15 P.M.
Yep, you read that right — a public hearing on February 14, St. Valentine’s Day! So, guys, if you really want to show your special someone a good time, take her out to a nice early dinner at some greasy spoon so you can get the “early bird” special, then head on over to City Hall and voice your concerns over how to pay for the establishment of growth cell 1-A. To top off the evening, you could use the “Citizens’ Request to Address the Council” time to pop the question like they do at sporting events sometimes. It will be a touching and memorable evening — one to tell the grandkids.
