Last night’s council of the whole meeting lasted nearly four and one-half hours. Three persons representing three media resources were in attendance, as well as a larger than usual number of citizens at the outset of the meeting. There’s the potential that there’ll be, possibly, at least three reports on the events at this meeting. (Columbia Spy already posted information about the council’s decision to extend the agreement with the Market House Trust for a one year period beginning January 1, 2016 and ending December 31, 2016.)

After issues were discussed and decisions made, small groups of citizens departed.

Reading reports or listening to second-hand information from someone who may have been at the meeting provides, at best, superficial and selective accounts of what actually transpired or was said.
