No meeting on July 3

We had mayor/council that preferred to do other stuff that night--prep for fireworks, prep for the holiday, go to kid baseball games and so on. So since we didn't have anything overly pressing or timebound, we just cancelled the meeting.

When I moved to Roland, we only had 1 council meeting a month. However, they got painfully long too, more stuff to cover. Then you tended to forget about stuff, and everything kinda drug on.

I do think 2 meetings a month serves us better. You stay on top of stuff more, and the meetings go more quickly. After about 1.5 hours, meetings really take a turn for the worse. Things at the back of the agenda might not get the attention they deserve, because everybody just wants to get the heck out of there.

Usually the same deal in December, as we usually cancel the last meeting of the month when everybody is in Christmas mode. But we are back on, on Wednesday July 17.
