Athens City Council members will likely decide Monday whether to buy a compressed natural gas garbage truck to replace an aging garbage truck. The city has had good success with its CNG vehicles, which have lower fuel costs, run quieter and last longer than gasoline powered trucks.

This is just one of the items listed on the agenda for the council’s meeting, which begins at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall at 200 W. Hobbs St.

A premeeting work session will be held at 4:30 p.m., at which time Larry Pippins of Athens Housing Authority will speak for about 15 minutes. The council will then review the items on the meeting agenda.

Other items on the agenda include:

Regular calendar

• Ordinance to amend city code on unsafe structures; • Resolution to approve fiscal 2016 capital appropriations;

• Resolution to apply for a grant to purchase new equipment for the Water Department;

• Resolution to demolish structure at 722 Westmoreland Ave.; and

• Resolution to reschedule the March 13 council meeting.
