Hamilton County Commission meetings will stay at 4 p.m. through the end of January.

The late afternoon meeting time has been going through a trial period since the beginning of November after commissioners voted to try a later time for two months. At the time, several expressed an interest in making meetings more accessible for those working regular hours during the day. Meetings used to start at 9:30 a.m.

The Wednesday vote to extend the trial period through January passed unanimously. That means the Hamilton County Commission will consider whether the later time should stay permanent, go back to mornings or change to some other time by early February.
