Council Cancels Prime Time Meeting
Sussex County Council's Aug. 19 meeting, which was to be its first night-time meeting, has been canceled due to lack of agenda items. The next council meeting will be Tuesday, Aug. 26 at 10 a.m. The first night meeting will now be held on Sept. 16 at 6:30 p.m.
Council member George Cole moved to cancel the Aug. 19 meeting "instead of having a big failure" for the first night-meeting, for which there was virtually no business for the council to consider. The September meeting, however, is already shaping up to have a full agenda.
