Split Vote Changes Council Meeting Time

The Sidney City Council will be returning to a later meeting time. In a previous meeting, Mayor Roger Galllaway suggested changing the time from 6:15 p.m. to 7 p.m. He said the change was offered because he was asked to take a football coaching position, which could interfere with the current 6:15 p.m. Tuesday city council meetings.

“Most of this came about because my work responsibilities changed,” Gallaway said in the Aug. 23 meeting.

He offered to change the meeting time seasonally, or permanently.

“I think if we make a change, we not make it seasonal,” said Vice-Mayor Bob Olsen.
