Council questions

At tonight's city council meeting -- the first regularly scheduled meeting since the election -- everything went smoothly.  The consent agenda was approved, the election canvass accepted, and a mayor pro-tem (Mike Lower) chosen.

The items of interest were all in the workshop sessions that preceded and followed the brief formal meeting.

First, in the pre-meeting workshop, council members and the mayor asked a number of good questions about the consent agenda items.   I think the questions were valuable.  They gave the city staff a "heads-up" about the kinds of material they'll need to present on future items.  I don't think many of them will want, in the future, to hem-and-haw as a few of today's presenters had to do.

The second item of interest was an executive session, after the council meeting.  That will be the subject of my next post.
