Council gets a change of scenery
News · June 13, 2007
The West Branch City Council is moving its meeting place again, this time because of poor acoustics.
Until the new administrative offices are finished at 110 North Poplar, the city council has agreed to meet in the community room of the West Branch Public Library. The council regularly meets on the first and third Mondays of each month at 6:30 p.m., with its next meeting slated for Monday, June 18.
Since the city abandoned its old city offices last November, the council has held its meetings at Town Hall. But a number of complaints from residents who watch council meetings on the local public access channel prompted Arlyn Verlo, the city’s volunteer public access director, to ask the council for a change of venue.
Poor acoustics in Town Hall makes it difficult to hear the council’s discussion, both for those who attend meetings and those who watch them on TV.
The city is still awaiting bids from architects on the new city office project.
