I nearly forgot to mention the Liberty Lake City Council meeting tonight at 7 p.m. at City Hall, 22710 E. Country Vista Drive. It's the last meeting of the year (unless another special meeting is scheduled), so the council must approve the 2011 budget. It looks like things won't be as dire as once thought; the city discovered last week that they have more income than anticipated.

The meeting will also include a discussion of the 2011 animal control contract with SCRAPS and the presentation of Liberty Lake Police Department awards.
