Council meetings: Same place, new time

Placerville City Council meetings might not become any shorter, but they will start earlier. Effective Feb. 26, the open session of City Council meeting will begin at 6 p.m. instead of 7 p.m., with closed session being at 5 p.m.

Mayor Wendy Mattson greeted the introduction of the resolution to change the meeting time at the Jan. 8 meeting with, “It’s a long day for city staff who already  put a lot of hours with our shortened staff when a meeting goes to midnight and then they have to be in at work in the morning too, so this may help.”

The resolution to change the meeting time passed with a 5-0 vote. Councilwoman Carol Patton suggested an addition to the original resolution to include a policy that no new agenda topics of discussion would be introduced after 10 p.m.  City Manager Cleve Morris said this policy would be presented to the council for approval at a later date.
