Council Meetings: Be There

Six months into the new administration, the city’s web site still does not have the correct meeting schedule for City Council meetings.

The schedules dramatically conflict with legal notices issued by City Clerk Laddie Wyatt to reflect a change that began in April. Never mind that the legal notice posted in the rotunda at City Hall does not jibe with an earlier one establishing the change, it’s a lot closer to the facts than the web site.
