City settles on meeting times
NORWICH – After much talk and consideration, the City of Norwich Common Council decided to change the times for their committee meetings, again.
At the reorganizational meeting, which took place on Jan. 1, the council had agreed to schedule both the Finance and Personnel Committee meeting and the Public Safety and Public Works Committee meeting at 7:30 a.m. instead of 6 p.m., as they were previously held. At Tuesday night’s Common Council meeting, the times were again changed, and this time the change is permanent.
Fourth Ward Alderman, and chair of the Finance and Personnel Committee, Walter Schermerhorn told the council that after speaking with his co-workers at NBT Bank, he had decided it would be best to continue to hold the meetings at 6 p.m. on the first Tuesday of the month.
First Ward Alderman, and chair of the Public Works and Public Safety Committee, Terry Bresina later explained that his committee would still meet in the morning, but they decided to meet at 7 a.m. – rather than 7:30 a.m. – on the fourth Thursday of the month at the Waste Water Treatment Plant.
The Common Council meeting will continue to be held at 7 p.m. on the third Tuesday of the month. The work session, previously held on the second Tuesday of the Month, has been eliminated.
While few residents generally attend the City of Norwich Common Council meetings, a few attended on Tuesday night, and they were ready to take part in the city government.
Jason Miller, of 51 Front St., addressed the council during open forum and discussed some of his ideas and suggestions for 2008. Miller suggested that the council create a technology committee, which would utilize technological advancements, foster technological growth and examine costs and obstacles of computerizing city records and data so they would be easily and readily available to the community.
Immediate goals Miller suggested the committee address were increasing the utilization of the city website and surveying the IT needs of municipal departments. “This isn’t cutting edge. It’s simply catching up with the realities of today,” Miller said.
Waite Street resident Mary Coe also stood during the open forum to congratulate the city on achieving the Restore New York Grant. Coe, who lives near one of the properties that will be replaced as part of the grant program, is eager to see the old residence removed and construction on the new home to begin.
