The Council voted tonight to combine the 4 committee meetings and the Committee of the Whole meeting. The vote was taken during our goal setting meeting.
The combined meeting will be held on alternate Wednesdays @ 5:30. This will allow more public participation in the committee meetings (previously held on Thursday afternoon when many people are working). In addition, all alderman will now attend all committee meetings. As a result, alderman will be better informed earlier in the process, and city staff can attend one meeting instead of 5 leaving more time to serve our citizens. The City Council meeting will be held on the alternate Wednesday @ 5:30.
In discussing our present meeting structure with citizens, many were confused about the committee meetings and were unable to attend due to work schedules. This change will help. The Council voted during the goal setting process so we can start the new meeting structure immediately.
