Thier HR committee found reduucing the number of council seats would be troublesome.

Chillicothe Council's human resources committee has a response to the suggestion to reduce the number of council members...and it's 'not likely.' 

In the minutes from their Thursday meeting, the committee reports that to do that would require a ballot issue...but it's too late for the spring election...and it would cost a $45,000 state filing fee. 

So, there would probably not be any hoped-for savings. 

The committee will suggest a workgroup to look into alternatives, including staggered and extended terms for council members. 

Council meets in its regular session Monday night.
