For those who desire to study all the elements of municipal government, there is interesting reading on the official minute’s front from City Council for the first session of the year in mid January.
While most likely a clerical error upon production, city staff has found a way to make sure that the Mayor could truly multi task, by apparently being in two places at once and missing from one meeting, while in attendance at the other one held during the same council session.
In the minutes posted on the city website, the Mayor is listed as present for the regular city council meeting of the day (incorrectly banishing Councillor Thorkelson from the nights events), but listing the Mayor as absent from the public hearing portion of the nights events.
