The Atlantic City Council will hold their first meeting of the month. 5:30-p.m. Wednesday, in their chambers at City Hall. On their agenda, is recognition of the Atlantic High School Boys and Girls Cross Country Teams. The boys and girls, like other AHS athletes, went to State this year. They finished in 7th place, and Taylor McCreedy came in 6th out of the top 15 finishers.

The Council will then act on approving a Resolution approving the CY 2019 Budget for Atlantic Municipal Utilities. The City traditionally passes the AMU budget without issue, since AMU is accountable to the Utility Board of Trustees. AMU General Manager Steve Tjepkes and Comptroller Jennifer Saathoff are likely to attend the meeting to answer any questions the Council may have. The AMU Board of Trustees will hold a Public hearing on their CY 2019 budget 4-p.m. today (Monday), at the AMU Business Office. Data from the utility shows the Budget amounts to $10.06-million, which amounts to a $1.16-million increase over the re-estimated 2018 budget.

In other business, the Atlantic City Council will hear a presentation, Wednesday, from Kris Erickson, City Code Enforcement Officer, with regard to policies concerning dogs and cats. The Mayor and members of the Council recently received an e-mail pertaining to cats, and the Shelter’s policy for those animals. Erickson will address any concerns stemming from that e-mail.
