Common Council. The Common Council is the legislative branch of City government. It is comprised of a President, elected by the general city, and seven councilors, each elected by a specific ward of the City. Council meetings are open to the public and occur on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month at 7:00 pm.
Ideally, hedges should be pruned in late winter, when plants are dormant and haven't produced budsâparticularly if you're cutting back drastically. You don't want them to break bud before you prune because you want the plant's energy to go toward producing new growth where you want it, says Roger.
Thin out boxwood hedges to keep them in their natural state. Cut back alternating branches to their base and remove any dead or dying branches starting in the first year with a pair of pruning shears. The result will be a hedge that grows in with more open space and a wild, more bush-like appearance.
