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.
