<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

For the first time in decades, Aspen City Council will conduct its official business Tuesdays, instead of the regular Monday meetings.<\/p>\n

Council meetings will now be held at 5 p.m. on the second and fourth Tuesday of the month, starting with the first one Oct. 8.<\/p>\n

One of the decisions council will make Tuesday night is purchasing the Aspen Mini-Storage property<\/a> at the Aspen Business Center for $11 million as part of a large affordable housing development the government plans to build in the area.<\/p>\n

With the change, council members and the public have an extra day to review the memos and agenda packets, ask questions and prepare for the meetings.<\/p>\n

Agenda packets are released publicly Thursday evenings, giving elected officials and residents Friday and Monday to study the information and ask staff specific questions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to spend your money wisely,\u201d Councilman Ward Hauenstein said in a statement on the city\u2019s Facebook page<\/a> about changing the meeting days.<\/p>\n

He added that agenda packets can have as many as 1,700 pages.<\/p>\n

Work sessions, which have traditionally been held on Tuesdays, will now be held at 4 p.m. every Monday and every first and third Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Meetings and work sessions can be viewed via http:\/\/www.cityofaspen.com<\/a> or on Facebook.<\/p>\n
