I started to drive to Peoria City Hall Tuesday night for the council meeting, but before I even got there, they were finished! The agenda was short, and council members Spain and Sandberg were both absent. The consent agenda passed unanimously, and no one removed any items from it. The one regular business item regarding the East Bluff Neighborhood Housing Service was deferred for two weeks, and the Town of Peoria items were dispatched unanimously as well.
Speaking of Gary Sandberg, he’s been up at Mayo Clinic the past week where he underwent aortic valve replacement surgery. I’m happy to report that the surgery was successful, and he’s recovering well. He’s hoping to come home sometime this week. Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Gary!
Personally, I don’t think we dare let the city council meet without Sandberg.
