McALESTER — McAlester city councilors are to consider again whether to approve funding $28,000 to the McAlester Main Street program when the council meets Tuesday night.

City councilors are set to meet in regular session at 6 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall.

During its June 26 meeting, the city council tabled an agenda item asking for $28,000 in city funding for McAlester Main Street. Also during the meeting, city councilors are to consider whether to privatize or franchise the city’s entire temporary and permanent roll-off/compactor work within the city limits.
