Council Minutes of 03-20-2024
<br />Councilman Limpert voted no with comment to state his concern with moving it earlier, is that it will
<br />limit the Committee Meetings that are held prior to Council Meetings.
<br />Councilwoman Hemann voted yes with comment to state she agrees with Councilman Limpert's
<br />comment, noting we will either need to not continue the pattern of holding Committee Meetings before
<br />Council or have brief meetings. Councilwoman Hemann stated she had more questions in the
<br />Committee Meeting before the current Council Meeting, but could not have them considered.
