Tonight!! Attention Christian County and Ozark!

Tonight...if you live in Christian County, this applies to you...

Christian County Planning and Zoning Commission meets tonight at the Christian County Courthouse at 7 PM in Room 208 (old courtroom).

They will be discussing rezoning 4381 Selmore Rd. from R-1 (suburban residence) to C-2 (general commercial)

They will also be discussing and possibly voting on new and/or revised definitions of recycling centers, junkyards and automobile graveyards and for what zoning district these might be appropriate.

So why is this important? Well, it has the potential to impede on personal property rights if not done properly. So the public needs to be there...and ready to speak out to make sure the commission makes regulations that are fair to all parties involved.

Also tonight is the Ozark Board of Aldermen meeting at 7 PM in the Council Chambers of Ozark City Hall.

They will be discussing contracts to powerwash the water towers at Wal-mart and Tracker. They will also talk about an amendment to the city ordinances about Board of Aldermen meetings. I believe this is the ordinance that Mayor Pro Tem wanted to throw out completely and start over because there was an amendment to the amendment. These are open for public comment.

They will also be voting on a zoning change for 604 E. Jackson and a conditional use permit for 2114 E. Robin. They will also vote on amendments to the current year budget. These bills are final reading and not open for public discussion.

Crap. Now I have to decide which one to go to. Why do they both meet at the same time??

I'm leaning toward planning and zoning just because it seems property rights are a more pressing issue, but I know there will likely be people there that will represent my point of view. At the city council meeting, the only person there besides the council and people who are supposed to speak to the council will probably be the former mayor. That makes me think maybe I should go to Board of Aldermen...

OK well I don't have to decide right now...
