For Pre-Council Meetings
Council Urged To
Arrive Earlier
Ferry Mayor James
McKinley, in a letter to all
City Counciltnen this week,
requested that Council
members arrive at City Hall
an hour prior to the regular
meetings for committee
meetings and a review of the
proposed agenda.

abolish the pre-council
meetings and since that time
they have convened at 7:30
F.M. on the first and third
'Tuesday of each month.
However, recent Council
meetings have been lasting
several hours.
McKinley slated, “It is not
my desire to reinstate pre
council meetings in the
manner they were conducted

that there is a definite need for
better communications and
working relations than that of
our present practice of con

The Mayor further noted, “I

as well as communication
deficiencies, could be over
