The gist
Mayor Chester Drash said City Council has voted to not have a December meeting for a number of years prior to this vote.
“For the last few years, the council has voted to not have a meeting. Mainly, [because the meeting] lands amidst all the Christmas holidays coming up,” Drash said.
Though the council voted unanimously to cancel the meeting, Place 4 council member Wendy Gonzalez expressed reservations about not having a slot available for a meeting if any issues arise between Nov. 19 and Dec. 17.
After some debate, City Council moved forward with canceling the meeting, while stipulating that if a need for a meeting arises, they can reinstate the scheduled meeting.
