Icy roads will keep some East Ridge garbage crews benched until Monday, and a City Council meeting scheduled for tonight has been canceled, officials said.
Councilmen were expected to fill a vacant council seat at the meeting and several controversial resolutions were on the agenda, including one that would require residents at public meetings to submit all questions about “operational statements, finances, budgets or otherwise” in writing.
There are no plans to reschedule the meeting. The council meets twice a month.
“Right now, everything just holds over to the Jan. 27 meeting,” City Manager Eddie Phillips wrote in an e-mail.
He said city street and sanitation crews still are working “around the clock” to clear and sand icy streets. Crews also will be out today and Friday collecting garbage where they can. Full garbage services will resume Monday.
City offices will reopen today, but will be closed Monday in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Phillips said.
City offices will reopen today.
