The Philomath City Council added a couple of work sessions to its schedule late this month, one of which will be a joint training with the Planning Commission to talk about legal-related issues.

The council’s first work session involves a utility rate study coming out of the work done by staff and a consultant. For those planning to attend, take note that the meeting agenda shows a 5:30 p.m. start time but the city calendar and city manager’s comments at the council’s last regular meeting both confirm the start time as 6 p.m.

Following is a rundown of all government meetings for the week of July 28-Aug. 1:
