Mayor Hanson and Munson did it? But were they following city charter? According to this website, maybe not;
As you can see, having the mayor preside over council meetings is like having the governor preside over the legislative session. Just doesn’t work that way. So who would run the meetings? The council chair should run the meetings and the mayor should only be available to answer questions or at least someone from his office available.
The council should be setting the agenda, not the mayor.
So my question is this; When will the city council bone up?
