Lately I’ve been hearing some grumblings from residents about the number of closed sessions and special meetings being held by the City Council, especially in conjunction with the Library Block project. I understand their frustration. Quite frankly, both the City Council and staff would prefer to handle City business at our regularly scheduled meetings. So what was different about the library block? I can identify a few things:
