One finance committee meeting, two council meetings and a public hearing are in store this week for Ironton officials.

Ironton city department heads will meet with the city council finance committee at 5 p.m. Wednesday to discuss what impact a proposed 20 percent cut would have on their individual budgets. At a meeting last week, the finance committee agreed to ask Finance Director Kristen Martin to put together a budget that reflects 20 percent less than the 2011 spending plan.

Following that, the full council will meet in special session at 6 p.m. to consider the third reading of an ordinance that would repeal the city’s reciprocity agreement and further discuss the city’s municipal fee.

At 5 p.m. Thursday, the city will have a public hearing on the proposed zoning change that would affect the lot adjacent to the University Mart on Liberty Avenue. Right now a section of the lot is zoned commercial, the rest is zoned residential. Some city residents want the city to amend the zoning to entirely residential to prevent any business locating or expanding there. They contend the lot was rezoned in error years ago because a deed restriction, which was in place before the lot was rezoned, supercedes the zoning change.

After the public hearing, council will meet in regular session at 6 p.m.

The agenda for that meeting includes first reading of two ordinances refunding the city center and fire station bonds, moves that Finance Director Kristen Martin said previously would save the city money. An ordinance engaging the firm of Peck, Shafer and Williams as bond counsel for the two refunding ordinances will also get first reading.

Also on the agenda: a resolution that would ask the county auditor to certify the estimated property tax revenue for a replacement recreation levy.
