City's proposed tax increase may appear on April ballot
In Butler City Council news, this is not the most important thing that happened, but we'll put it first, so you can put it on your calendar: The Christmas Lights will be turned on December first, rather than Thanksgiving, to coincide with the Chamber of Commerce Christmas Parade.
In other Council activities...City Administrator Mark Arbuthnot says the City has had several meetings with a developer regarding a proposed commercial development on a tract of land in the area of the highways 52 and 71 interchange. The name of the developer, nor the exact area it's interested in, has not been made public.
