The St.George City Council Meetings are held the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of every month,meetings begin at 4:00 pm which is an unreasonable time for individuals who work a job from 9-5. In order to accommodate those individuals who would like to be involved with the City Council meetings but are unable to because of their work schedule a change in the start time is needed. Our elected officials are paid by our tax dollars and should have the opportunity to hear the opinion of those who work a normal 9-5 work week.
I have been sending these signatures to the council members one by one and the silence from them is loud. It is exhausting to keep pushing when they refuse to acknowledge that a four o'clock starting time blocks out every working person in this city. I will keep sending these emails until they at least have the decency to explain why our participation is not a priority.

Reaching this point has been a long road and my feet are tired but seeing this level of momentum proves we are asking for something basic. People are listening now and I plan to keep pushing until our schedules are finally respected.
