Good evening, Salem.

Salem city councilors will hold their final scheduled meeting of the year tonight at 6 p.m.

They'll vote on a number of appointments, including three judges on the Salem Municipal Court. 

They'll also consider appointments to advisory board on downtown, the library, parks and traffic, as well as the Budget Committee and Planning Commission.

The council will also hear an annual report on the 2024 Salem Climate Action Plan. A live video feed of the meeting is available on Youtube in both English and Spanish, and a full agenda is here. We'll have a recap for you tomorrow.
