Griswold City Attorney David Wiederstein reports the City of Griswold Council meeting that was to occur this evening (Wednesday) evening, is cancelled.  Two representatives of the City Council and the Mayor will instead meet with the agreed upon mediator this evening to begin the mediation process with former members of the Rescue Department.

These initial steps of mediation will be conducted privately, but not in violation of open meetings laws.  Any agreement reached in mediation is subject to open deliberation and approval or disapproval of the Council as a whole.
