Council meetings should be held at the regularly scheduled time and place if at all possible (by the way, the public school auditorium in Newcastle where some town hall meetings by various public officials are held is much closer to a bus line than the golf club if more space is needed to accomodate a larger audience). Next Tuesday, July 16th, is the same date that a regular Council Meeting would ordinarily be held at City Hall, but the only apparent reason that it is being called "special" that same day is due to its irregular location and time, not accessible by mass transit. Public meetings, without at least some unusual or unforeseen circumstances in mind, should be available to the greatest possible audience.
