The first time most people learned of the switch was in Tuesday's newspaper. The change to Tuesdays will be effective in April, except for two meetings in April and May that will remain on Mondays because of a Tuesday conflict. That will be confusing. A change in the meeting day may be appropriate. However, the council should consider which time and day work best for the entire community, not just those on the council.
Public meetings require public input.
Council members should allow ample time for public comment before making such a change, and so far they haven't. If the public prefers the Monday night meeting time, the council should retain it. After all, council members knew when they sought office that Monday was the meeting night. Post your thoughts in The Public Forum. All rights reserved.
