City Council of the City of Erie Regular Meeting

The agenda included a public hearing on a property rezoning request and the approval of the annual budget for the Erie Area Council of Governments. Further resolutions were passed concerning sewage facilities planning, infrastructure reimbursement agreements, and construction change orders. Additionally, the council authorized various purchase orders for municipal supplies, vehicle equipment, and facility maintenance services.
