UPDATE: The city is following state law, 9-13-28, but as one councilor said to me, apparently we haven’t been following state law for years. I am also under the impression that the city doesn’t always have to follow state law, because of our charter. It Would be an interesting research project.
So if you are going to miss the 4 councilors that are moving on, tomorrow night is the last time to see them in action. For some bizarre reason, the city is claiming they need to inaugurate the new councilors on Friday before the first meeting on Tuesday. This is weird for a lot of reasons, normally the new councilors get sworn in on the Tuesday they have their first meeting. The excuse that is being thrown around is something to do with state law . . . pulled directly from a Fiddle-Faddle box.
