The regularly scheduled New Baltimore City Council meeting is at 7 p.m. tonight at City Hall on Green Street.

New Baltimore City Council will decide Monday night whether to approve a design contract for the anticipated Department of Public Services' building expansion project.

The $31,500 design contract with Partners in Architecture of Mount Clemens is for the addition estimated to cost about $500,000, according to the city.

Construction is expected to take place this spring, for completion in fall. Multiple offices and an employee lunchroom are among the project features, Clerk Marcia Shinska said.
