Response to supposed procedure error
Regarding the supposed "major" procedure error at the Montrose City Council Meeting that [reporter] Doug Voerding wrote about, prior city councils have taken action in closed meetings for years, sounds like that may need to change.  The council also relies on staff to write the minutes.  Interestingly they put that article on the Front Page which means it would then show up on their website. The article was also a week late, wonder if it had to go through the newspaper lawyer first.

How can Voerding determine they are having whispered discussion if, as he writes, they don't speak load enough to be heard?  From previous experience they aren't having discussion but may be asking a clarifying question such as what page are they on, what example was it, etc.

As for not speaking loud enough that would include anyone speaking at the meeting.  This is a microphone issue.

I also found it interesting that the City Administrator would Not trust a City Council member to deliver a Check, it isn't cash.

Mayor's Resignation
I would like to thank the council for serving as I'm sure this year has been stressful due to the number of meetings they've had to have about employee issues and the mayor resigning. I should note the mayor's resignation letter seemed to point to many other things as issues however his wife put her name in for the vacancy created on the council due to his resignation.
