WHEREAS, some of the meetings of these groups routinely occur after regular work hours, and some of them can continue for long periods of time and go well into normal dinner meal times; and
WHEREAS, the meetings themselves, along with the public officials and public employees who staff and contribute to these boards and commissions, provide a public purpose and a public service to the City;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Foley, Alabama, as follows:
