A Public Hearing will be held tomorrow evening (Thursday) in Walnut, with regard to the Fiscal Year 2015-16 Budget. Following the hearing, the Council will discuss the budget and act on a Resolution to adopt it.

In other business, the Council will continue with discussions on the possible acquisition of the Walnut School Building. Last month, the City was offered the chance by Walnut Superintendent Jesse Ulrich to acquire the building, which is owned by the Walnut School District. City Clerk Terri Abell said Ulrich wanted to give the City the first opportunity to do something with the building. The decision was then made to form a committee comprised of the Mayor and two Council people, School Board members, and members of the public, to decide what they want the facility to become. They also discussed the possibility of hiring a consultant or an architect to conduct a feasibility study and facility study on the building.

The Walnut City Council will also discuss a proposed Community Garden, the 2016 Walnut Antique show and other, regular business matters. The meeting begins at 5-p.m., Thursday.
