A planned Monday morning City Council workshop was halted due to six members not being present. With Hirsch and Foreman out of town, the six member body could not form a quorum, cancelling a 40 block dirt street paving tour and delaying a $25,000 sewer line project and a contract decision on a new City Hall phone system. One item was heard, and a full council was expected for today’s 9 a.m. session with a budget and tax rate hearing on the agenda.
