The Washougal City Council voted 5-1 on Feb. 19 to change the schedule of its meetings. Starting in March, the Washougal City Council will hold its regular meetings and workshops on the second and fourth Mondays of each month. The workshops will run from 5 to 6:30 p.m., followed by the regular meetings at 7 p.m. During the months of November and December, meetings will be held on the first, second and third Mondays of each month, with the same time schedule in place. City Administrator David Scott said the increase in the number of meetings during this time of year is primarily due to budget discussions. A meeting, he explained, could be cancelled if deemed unnecessary.
