The commission will set dates for meetings regarding three topics, including expanding the sale of cereal malt beverage and alcoholic liquor to Sundays. Dates will also be set for a meeting regarding the renewal of the special use sales tax and the discussion of Phase II of the 1916 City Hall renovations.

The Independence Public Library will present its budget for 2020, and the commission will consider a resolution modifying the residential dumpster program.

Potential attendees are still encouraged to participate in the meeting either through Facebook Live or by conference call. The meeting will begin at 5:30 pm.
