Chelsea – According to Chelsea Council President Scott Weygand, an update to Council rules and procedures is coming soon, “Since our change in the form of government happened when we all got sworn in, we’ve had to update the meetings from when they were originally done, which was probably 20 years ago and our city attorney has gone through the rules and updated them to reflect the new style of government and really just to bring everything up to date.”
Weygand also described how the changes differ from before, “We were a mayor strong government where the mayor sat on the council and now the mayor is not a part of the council. He’s the CEO of the city and runs it and is in charge of all the employees and the council is more for the financial aspects of it, controls the agenda, and just sets the tempo of the city.”
Weygand added that he hopes that the updated rules and procedures will be beneficial to the public, as well as the council.
