Three City Ordinances Read At Snyder Meeting
The Snyder City Council will hold a 7 30 p m meeting to read three ordinances in second and final readings. One ordinance lowers summer water rates by reducing charges for usage above the minimum while keeping base rates, and aims to beautify the city. Another ordinance would annex the second Highlands addition south of the city limits near Towle Memorial Park. A third ordinance proposes replacing angle parking with parallel parking along Avenue R and Twenty sixth Street up to the city hall, potentially drawing resistance. Bids will be opened for two new police patrol cars and for a storm sewer on Twenty second Street from Avenue S to Dry Run Creek.
