Children’s Advocacy Center Gets Facelift

38 concerned the personal use of marajuana in public places. The people of Trenton will not be allowed to smoke marajuana substances in public places such as retail establishments, parks, public right of ways, government facilities, educational facilities, health facilities and public transportation facilities.

Bill No. 39 concerned the table of permissible uses by the Trenton City Code for marajuana facilities.

New business was then discussed starting with new park board members. Discussion was tabled and the park board will be contacted to see if they are willing to serve.

A discussion was held on whether or not Juneteenth should be added to the city’s calendar as an observed holiday. Concerns were brought up about the amount of holidays off work the city is already receiving. The bill did not pass as only three councilmen voted for the bill, including Glen Briggs, David Mlika and John Dolan. Those voting against were William Fisher, Calvin Brown, Marvin Humphreys and Timothy Meinecke. Councilman Duane Urich was absent.

A proposed bid for the concrete replacement project at the Fire Department, Airport, Sewer Plant Storm Inlet and TMU warehouse was awarded to Shuler Concrete.

The Board went into closed session at 7:57 p.m. with no announcements made as of press time.
