Meetings changed to one a month

The Electric City Council has decided to cut its meetings from two a month to one.

Mayor Jerry Sands said the city had caught up on updating its ordinances and got the arsenic treatment plant up and running, so the amount of business for the council in the city has diminished.

The council has regularly met on the second and fourth Tuesday nights each month for decades, but now will meet only on the second Tuesday night of the month.

The council also decided to change its meeting hour from 7 p.m. to 6 p.m. Electric City now joins Coulee Dam in meeting at 6 p.m.

The changes met approval from all five council members last Tuesday night. The council next meets March 12, at 6 p.m.
