County, city meetings nixed

Two local government meetings were canceled this week due to lack of agenda items.

The Carlton County committee of the whole meeting set for Tuesday, Nov. 3 was canceled after a couple agenda items were pulled.

“It is not unusual for one or two COW meetings to be canceled each year, and calling a public meeting with very little on the agenda did not make good sense in light of the pandemic,” county coordinator Dennis Genereau said. The county board meets for its next regular meeting at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 10.

The Cloquet City Council meeting scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 5 was canceled because of a light agenda. The next regular council meeting is set for 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 17.
