Lake Shore City Council meetings likely will be held at an earlier time starting sometime in 2022.
The council agreed Monday, Dec. 20, to consider changing its meeting time to 6 p.m., still on the fourth Monday of the month.
Traditionally the council has met at 7 p.m.
This change requires an ordinance change, which the council will consider in January.
