If the Council Chambers is to be renovated, there should be a few more power outlets for the hard benches!

I think that was “off” the elevated platform, yes?

Mr. Powers actually rolled the wheel of his chair of the elevated platform where the mayor and administrator sit. Renovations of Council Chambers have been in the Capital Improvement Plan for a while, but they have not made it to a point where they have been funded. This tumble shows that the existing design has safety issues, it is also not handicap accessible.

And then there are those hard benches…

“….City Administrator Steve Powers has lost his balance and has fallen out of his chair……………Powers is unscathed.”

Almost as good detailed reporting as when Jeff Irwin’s pen exploded at the Board of Commissioners meeting a few years ago, leaving copious amounts of ink on the credenza and his jacket.
