Welcome to Fall River Now. Here's your look at the week ahead in Fall River city government.

First up, the Conservation Commission has a very full agenda for its meeting tonight, Monday, at 5:30 p.m. Many of the items were carried over from last month's meeting.

Several large-scale projects are up for review. McAllister Towing is seeking approval to repair and replace a bulkhead, elevate parts of its site, and dredge its terminal basin on Shaw Street. National Grid and Weaver Cove Industrial Park are proposing to separate existing transmission lines onto new monopole structures, running from the Sykes Road Substation to the Somerset border over the Taunton River.

Also on the agenda, Liberty Utilities wants to install about 222 feet of a new gas main on Jefferson Street. And Weaver's Cove Industrial Park has filed a plan for the after-the-fact restoration of areas where vegetation was cleared on New Street.

The commission will also take up some policy matters, including a discussion on adopting a new fee structure and a review of outstanding enforcement orders in the city. Other items include a request to clear land for future development near Bristol and Monadnock streets, and a proposal for vegetation management along the Massachusetts Coastal Railroad right-of-way.

On Tuesday afternoon at 4:30, the Fall River Public Schools Grievance Subcommittee will meet. The agenda indicates the subcommittee plans to go into a closed executive session. The purpose of that private meeting is to discuss strategy related to collective bargaining and grievances with the Fall River Administrator's Association.
