The Corsicana City Council will meet with the Navarro County Commissioners Court in a joint session at 4 p.m. Tuesday, prior to the regular city council meeting.
The commissioners and the city council members are expected to discuss the proposed Corsicana bypass around the city. Two weeks ago, the Texas Department of Transportation authorized spending $41 million building a half-loop around the city to relieve traffic.
During the regular session, the city council will be asked to take the next step in annexing a one-acre tract on the north side of town for a couple building a house. The couple requested that their parcel of land be brought into the city limits so they could hook into the city’s sewer system rather than build a septic system.
In addition, the council is expected to amend the electrical code, and declare some old items surplus so they can be sold or disposed.
