Columbia, MO. Changes to Columbia's sewer billing ordinance, after being delayed last month, will be considered tomorrow for a final vote by the Columbia City Council.

A final vote on a measure that would add gender identity to the city's nondiscrimination rules also is on tomorrow's agenda. The measure would define gender identity as an individual's "general-related identity, appearance or mannerisms or other gender-related characteristics" regardless of an individual's "designated sex at birth." The changes would prohibit discrimination against transgendered individuals in housing, employment and public accommodations.

The council meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. at City Hall, 701 E. Broadway.
