Worth Noting:

Tuesday the City Council is poised to adopt a plan for the Civic Center which most of us have never seen and is posted as an impossible to read list of documents with no titles attached to the agenda item. The Civic Center Plan needs a full presentation to the public as a worksession with ample opportunity for comment not some resolution passed in the dark of the night.



Tuesday – City Council, 6 – 11 pm key items under action A. Annual Housing Pipeline Report, 13. Navigable Cities - street and sidewalk conditions and impact on persons with disabilities, 14. Adoption of Civic Center Vision Plan, 15. Crime Report and Use of Force Report.
