Cobb Commissioner Bob Ott announced over the weekend he’s holding a town hall meeting March 5 at the Sewell Mill Library and Cultural Center (2051 Lower Roswell Road).
The meeting lasts from 7-8:30 p.m. 
While the format is general in nature—he typically briefs constituents on county issues, and then fields questions from the audience—the upcoming budget process figures to be a major topic.
In particular, proposed library cuts are likely to be a high-interest subject. Ott’s last town hall meeting in August, at the East Cobb Library, came just as his fellow East Cobb commissioner, JoAnn Birrell, proposed shuttering that branch.
The East Cobb Library is on the list of proposed closures for the coming fiscal year 2019 budget, which is slated for adoption in July.
Commission chairman Mike Boyce has said he wants to hold town hall meetings related to the budget in the spring, but hasn’t announced any dates.
