I'm going to the Huntington City Council meeting tomorrow evening. I've been to these meetings before, when I had the City of Huntington beat for The Parthenon, so I have a pretty good idea of what they'll discuss. I took a peak at their agenda, available online, City council representatives will consider issues such as zoning, purchase of gasoline for city vehicles and purchase of software for the Huntington Police Department, among other things.
But before the actual meeting, Mayor Kim Wolfe will give his second State of the City address. I've reviewed articles about last year's speech, so that gave me a general idea of what I should expect tomorrow. Last year, Wolfe proposed furloughs for city employees, so he will probably talk about how successful that was. He may even propose extending that. He will also probably talk about taxes. A big issue last year was the 1 percent occupation tax. The mayor will talk about that and whether it was as successful as he intended. The city's economy has been an issue as well, so the mayor will probably also address that.
