I spoke to Mayor Morgan after the January workshop and he explained the reasons necessitating the mid-month workshop. In addition, he emphasized the need to expedite annexation and rezoning, voicing concern over individuals having to wait an extra month for council approval. It's like going to school. Sadly enough, Mrs. Trundle's words accurately reflect what I have perceived from this council. They do come to learn, which isn't bad in itself.
Homework needs to be done prior to introducing a bill.
The council would, in essence, take a more active role in policy making, instead of the current situation in which they allow department head to formulate policy. Our council has rendered itself as a nicely boxed, diverse-looking rubber stamp set. Jimmy Dale Williams was the only council member to oppose a bi-monthly meeting. We haven't had a workshop. Mr. Williams is right.
