The Pulaski County Council will continue looking for ways to cut expenses tonight. For the past month, the council has been meeting with department heads for preliminary discussions on their 2020 budgets. The goal is to avoid a $2.7 million deficit that’s projected to develop over the coming years. Meeting with the council tonight will be the two courts and Probation Office, according to the Auditor’s Office.

There are also a couple action items on tonight’s agenda. Council members will be asked to approve and sign the 2019-pay-2020 abatements and an auditor fees ordinance.

Tonight’s special Pulaski County Council meeting starts at 6:00 EDT at the Pulaski County Courthouse in the Circuit Courtroom.
