Three In A Row: Another Short Meeting For Century Council

Monday night made it three in a row for the Century Town Council. It was the third unusually short meeting in a row for the group.
Monday night’s meeting lasted about 25 minutes, including public comment from two people that took up about eight minutes. The council’s last meeting, gavel to gavel, was about 10 minutes.
The council approved the minutes of their last meetings and a bill list in just moments.

I don’t think that is the case. We attend most all of the meetings. It’s usually a good meeting unless a bunch shows up to fuss about something. The last few meetings we have only had a hand full of people to show up. I wish more people would come just to see what’s going on in the town and not wait until they hear there is going to be trouble.
Wrong! It’s a year away.
Must be election year and some of them are keeping quieter so they don’t make the headlines. Oh wait, it is.
