The Greeley City Council had a short meeting tonight. There was little to talk about on the agenda and the consent agenda had few items pulled.
The new mayor, Tom Norton, was not at the meeting, so there was a new arrangement to the council tonight. At the meeting on Monday, John Gates, Councilmember Ward III, was elected for the pro-tem position. This position allows Gates to run the City Council meeting when the mayor is not present. Gates was the acting mayor for tonight's meeting.
Donna Sapienza, Councilmember Ward II, recognized students who participated in UNC's Third Annual Embracing Community, Together. Sapienza was excited to hear about students who have been volunteering and getting involved with the Greeley community.
Sapienza asked Rick Brady, City Attorney, to inform the council about the Poudre Heritage Foundation, a non-profit cultural preservation organization that a few UNC students help volunteer for. The Railroad Museum is one of the several cultural landmarks that this organization is helping to maintain and expand. This organization helps bring people to Greeley to spend money in local establishments.

Election Rush
Tonight, at the Greeley Tribune, newspaper staff assembled to discuss deadlines for the articles about Greeley's election. These articles will be printed on the front page of tomorrow's edition. For most reporters, Election Day is the busiest day of the year.
As pizza box lids fly open, so does the newsroom meeting. The meeting began with the staff introducing themselves to us, UNC student reporters.
Randy Bangert, editor, started the meeting discussing the online live chat. The Tribune hosted an online forum to help the public with any questions and live updates on the election.
Kelly Tracer, managing editor, discussed what will be covered in the election and by whom.
In a newsroom meeting, editors are fast and quick to the punch. My word of advice while attending a meeting: if you have questions speak up fast. Editors move quickly and expect you to know your duties.
Ballot counts and totals started rolling in to The Tribune at 7:30 p.m.
The Tribune was very accepting of hosting UNC students in their meeting. It was an opportunity to watch journalists in action. Election Day is busy and journalism students should all be given the opportunity to see a newsroom in action.
