Mayor Johnson stated that the September 14 Common Council meeting conflicts with the Fall Primary election. He will wait until the end of August to discuss whether or not the meeting should be canceled. Discussion has taken place with staff to potentially have one Council meeting a month to approve all agenda items and then have a second meeting strictly for the approval of licenses and vouchers.

There will only be a few meetings held on Thursday evenings; the majority of the budget review will take place on Tuesdays. The Mayor believes the time before the Council meetings can be utilized better. COMMUNICATIONS AND MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS AS AUTHORIZED BY LAW Ald. Snead noted some upcoming events in the community.
