We're not sure if the recent Friday night meeting was scheduled to make a point about meeting times, but it sure looks that way. Farrell has admitted that taxpayers could miss meetings under his proposal because of work conflicts, but he said if people really want to attend, they will make time. He said he does intend to resurrect the bill for future council consideration. If anything, however, city government meetings should be made easier for citizens to attend. Often, that may mean having specific board and committee meetings always at the same time.
Regularity is as important as timing.
