Twice a City Council meeting reorganization schema has made its way to the full council agenda to be put up for a vote and be done.

But passing through the back-and-forths of several work sessions, subsequent reworkings, and an impromptu albeit protracted council discussion that ended with its being sent back down for more work, it has shown itself a tricky piece of business to get right to the satisfaction of all.

Latest news is it will get another session of chewing at the council’s study session at 5:30 p.m., Feb. 13, in the Council Chambers at Auburn City Hall.

Recently, Deputy Mayor Largo Wales indicated the need for at least one more go at the measure before it moves up to a full council meeting and possible adoption.

The plan remains to implement it early in 2017.

The original idea had been to restore the arrangement of the City Council to what it had been before 2014 – five standing subcommittees, each with a single chair at its head.

That plan met stiff opposition.

Now on the table is a hybrid system, favoring a study session with council members sharing the role of chairman on different occasions based on their areas of expertise.
