… and we’re back
Friday, January 6, 2017 by Elizabeth Pagano
Next week, our fair (and kinda new!) City Council offically returns from winter break. And Council members are kicking things off with a retreat (or workshop) next week, which will take place from 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. on Jan. 11 and 12. Though Mayor Steve Adler promised an official agenda by the end of day today, the retreat is usually a chance for Council to retool and take care of procedural tasks that it might not have time to address during regular meetings. This time around, we are expecting that a committee revamp may be at the top of the to-do list, after several Council members mentioned that that would be the case in their end-of-year interviews.
