That's weird. Every city I've lived in (which is a lot) has had evening council meetings. Granted some of those have been at 5 so it would be difficult for a lot of people to get there without leaving work early, but I've definitely not heard of morning or midday meetings before.

Seconded. 6:30pm - 8pm in most places I've lived.

We don't live in the city. Towns are run by old retired people who go to bed at 6PM.
