Consider the following excerpt from an article in the
August 20th online Middletown Journal:
But I can find no record of any notice of a City Council
meeting scheduled for that date, or for the agenda for such a meeting, or for
the minutes of such meeting!!! There
have been two council meetings since that date, and no mention has been made of
any “special meeting” held for any reason. So, what’s up with that??? Are we back to council members “just happening
to all have lunch at the same place, as they used to do a few years ago, and
then claim that it was “not a city council meeting” even though it was a pre-arranged
meeting by a quorum of council members where city business was discussed, with the city manager and the law director sitting at the next table??? ------------- “Mulligan said he ... doesn’t believe they necessarily make the return on investment necessary to keep funding them.” …The Middletown Journal, January 30, 2012 |

August 2 is when Ms. Harrison won the gold medal so the declaration would have been made at a future meeting. I suppose the article means "earlier" than the date of the article.
"Earlier, at a City Council meeting, Aug. 2 — the day she captured the gold medal with a 2-0 victory over Great Britain’s Gemma Gibbons — was declared Gold Medalist Kayla Harrison Day in the city." |
