The Huntington Beach City Council will start its meetings later in the day to accommodate one council member's work hours.
Councilwoman Connie Boardman, who teaches biology and chairs the department at Cerritos College in Norwalk, asked that the first nine study sessions and council meetings of the year be moved back by one hour. Boardman said cuts in her department have led to changes in her schedule.
Councilman Keith Bohr suggested the council move the study session back by one hour and leave the council meeting at its 6 p.m. start time by hurrying through the closed-session items, which he said doesn't usually take long.
