The City of Wagner held a special council meeting on Tuesday, June 25th at 5:30 p.m. As one walked into the meeting as either a participant or simply an attendee, he or she must sign in and then are given the option if they would like to speak to be put on the list for the public comment part of the meeting. Looking around the room before the meeting started every chair was taken and it was standing room only. The meeting began by being called to order by Mayor, Tammy Thornton, followed by those in attendance being told that this city council meeting was being videotaped. Then everyone in the room stood and recited the Pledge of Allegiance in unison, before being seated. Mayor Thornton then proceeded to ask the city council if there was anyone who had a conflict of interest with anything on the day’s agenda. With no one having a conflict, she then asked for a motion to approve the agenda for the current meeting. After being unanimously approved by those on the board in attendance, the mayor then opened the floor for public comment.
