Aldermen, commissioners to hold meetings this week

Two of Cannon County's legislative bodies are holding their regular monthly meetings this week.

On Tuesday the Woodbury Board of Mayor and Aldermen will meet at City Hall.

The agenda released for the meeting features only two actionable items, both of which are amendments to the town's zoning map.

However, Mayor Andy Duggin says he will give an update on the town's efforts to have the county pay the landfill or "tipping fees" when its garbage trucks deposit trash there.

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen have voted to sue the county over the landfill fee issue. Duggin said he has been approached by some commissioners about working out a deal to avoid going to court but added he is ready to move forward if one can not be reached.

The town's meeting begins at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

On Thursday, the Cannon County Board of Commissioners will meet beginning at 5 p.m. at the Cannon County Courthouse. The agenda for the meeting includes:
