Longboat Key Kiwanis Club members heard from Longboat Key Town Manager Howard Tipton and Assistant Town Manager Isaac Brownman at its Feb. 6 meeting.

The pair touched on upcoming ballot items, including giving the manager freedom to appoint a qualified person to briefly serve as interim manager when needed, even if they already hold a position with the town.

They also answered members' questions about replacing the underwater sewer line and updating residents' water meters, which they said would be a cost saver for users.

The club also agreed to shift its monthly meetings to the second Thursday.
