In response to the recent City Council discussion regarding concerns about the elevator at City Hall and
ensuring access for all to City Council meetings, I spoke with Renee about moving the City Council meetings to
the Library Community Room. The Community Room is available on Monday evenings and she has tentatively
blocked out the room for Council's use beginning in April and tentatively running through August of this year.
If City Council wishes to formally move the City Council meetings I would appreciate direction, I believe
consensus is acceptable but am checking with Jim Hoeft to verify, and we will post the new location and get
the word out immediately.
