Courier: Council to vote to change meeting date

The City Council has moved a step closer to moving regular council meetings from Monday to Wednesday nights.

The six council members in attendance at Monday's regular meeting voted unanimously to approve an ordinance amending the council's set schedule. Currently, council members meet each Monday -- alternating agenda session switch regular meetings every other week.

Under the planned schedule, agenda sessions generally would be held every other Monday, regular meetings would follow on Wednesday of the same week, and there would be a week off in between.

Several residents asked questions about the move, since it would alter a long history of Monday meetings.

"That's why nothing's getting done -- too many people trying to make changes," George Smith said, objecting to the change.

The proposal must pass on a second vote before it is finally adopted.
