In anticipation of a large crowd, next Tuesday’s Waukesha Common Council meeting has been moved from its usual location of the Council Chambers at City Hall to Waukesha North High School.
The meeting, scheduled for 7:30 p.m., will be held at the school’s auditorium, 2222 Michigan Avenue.
Mayor Jeff Scrima said in an interview Tuesday that the Waukesha Police Department made the request to have the meeting be moved because of the expected increase in attendance.
Scrima said the Council Chambers can fit approximately 150 people, but added the Police Department expects to have more than double that number at the meeting.
The main reason for the increased crowd is because this is the first time the public can voice its opinion on the feasibility study that was released last month on the possible consolidation of the City of Waukesha’s Communication Center with the Waukesha County Communication Center.
Scrima did not have a price tag on the cost for the location switch but said it will come out of the Police Department’s budget because it made the request.
The meeting will be televised on TV25.
