Portsmouth City Council will meet for the first time in April at the Shawnee State University Ballroom starting at 6 p.m. on Monday.
PORTSMOUTH Portsmouth City Council will reconvene for the first time this month on Monday, a meeting with 11 items on its agenda and multiple appropriations at stake.
Starting with third reading, the council will review two pieces of legislation focused on renewable energy and a possible lease agreement for a museum.
The former would allow the voters of Portsmouth a say in whether or not the city should adopt a Wholesale Electricity Purchase/Renewable Energy Program. As City Manager Sam Sutherland said in a letter, Athens and Chillicothe have enacted similar systems and the council would still need to draft legislation depending on the vote.
