[council] Incoming Council members was Re: [] NCA input to House placement

[Gomes, Chuck]

I am anticipating that our agenda may be shorter than usual so I think that it would be good if we have an agenda item at the beginning to welcome the new Councilors and an agenda item at the end allowing them to ask questions if they have any and if time permits.  Other than that it is probably best that the new Councilors are there as observers unless there is a discussion topic that specifically involves them.
