City council changes to one meeting a month

Grand Coulee’s city council will meet one more time in February, but then will meet only once a month.

The council passed its once-a-month ordinance at its meeting Feb. 2.

After the Feb. 16 meeting, the Grand Coulee council will meet once a month on the third Tuesday of the month. Its meeting in March will be on the 15th, and meetings will start at 6 p.m.

The new ordinance amends the city code.

City Clerk Carol Boyce said the once-a-month change for meetings will allow city staff more time to prepare matters for the council, and allow council committees time to work on various projects and items with time to bring them back to council for action.

With the change, Coulee Dam will be the only local municipality left that holds two council meetings per month. Elmer City, Electric City and now Grand Coulee will have only one meeting per month.
