City Council’s work session canceled
Monday, August 26, 2024 by Elizabeth Pagano
This Tuesday’s work session, which would have been subject to a new court ruling on speaker rules, has been canceled. In a post on the City Council Message Board, Mayor Kirk Watson explained, “The City Manager and his team have let my office know that there are no scheduled briefings for our upcoming Council Work Session scheduled for Tuesday, August 27th. With no briefings to come before Council, I suggest we cancel the Work Session.” He noted that if Council members had any questions about items on the agenda, they could pull it for discussion or a briefing on Thursday, when Council will convene for its regular meeting.
