City Council Reorganization Meeting - Monday, January 4

[jay]

Some people are saying that this will be a divided city council.  After all, not all  councilmen could agree to be sworn in at the same time on the same day by the same person.

This is the opportunity for city council, with four new council members, to make committee assignments.  Years ago, committee assignments were largely based upon seniority.   Now, politics often comes into play.  In recent times,  some councilmen were prevented from chairing council committees or were only assigned to one or two minor committees.

The plum position is chairing the powerful finance committee.

Dumb question, but..... WHAT, exactly, are they re-organizing... the furniture?

The city charter mandates the day and time of the reorganization meeting.
