Lethbridge Minute - Your weekly one-minute summary of Lethbridge politics

This Week In Lethbridge:

• We're in for another slower summer week at City Hall with only two meetings scheduled, both on Tuesday.
  
  
• Tuesday's City Council Meeting kicks off at 12:30 pm with an hour in camera (in secret). Once they move back into public, Council will receive a number of reports from various City departments and managers, a debate on whether to add $100,000 to the Parks budget. Council will also propose adding a question on the General Municipal Ballot asking residents if constructing a third bridge before 2030 should be a priority. What do you think?
  
  
• Also on Tuesday, at 4:00 pm there will be a Public Hearing meeting where Council will consider a Land Use Bylaw Amendment and a road closure.

Last Week In Lethbridge:
