Fred Lokken, a political science professor at Truckee Meadows Community College, said it will likely take months before the new council members are up to speed on the biggest issues facing the city. A few examples: * While the City Council will address a potential automatic aid deal with the Washoe County Commission at tonight's meeting, the matter likely will continue. * Labor negotiations with seven of the city's collective bargaining units are expected to restart early next year. * While the final terms to a potential refinancing deal for Aces Ballpark will be laid out tonight, the issue will be readdressed when it comes time to set next year's budget.\n
