All of which can be handled at the sub committee meeting and then at the formal session. Besides, I've had contracts with the City before, the hold up is with the process of the contract going through at least five departments before it even reaches City Council, which wouldn't be effected by the going part-time. You've pointed out before that you used to work for City Council, some of us suspect that you still do, so I'm sure you're aware of the process. As it stands now, they normally only meet on three days [[tues,wed,thurs) anyway. The last two body's have met less than any other body in the past thirty years, they're already working part time, pay them that way.
