The Berkeley Activist's Calendar, Oct. 4-11
Worth Noting:
The two most important events/meetings this week are the Mayor Forum sponsored by Berkeley Neighborhood Council (BNC) Saturday from 10 am – 12 pm https://cccconfer.zoom.us/j/97241233902 and T1 which is about what gets fixed. There is also a 3rd meeting to check Thursday morning, Budget and Finance. T1 is important as the Mayor and Council through recent votes on the Civic Center Plan demonstrate greater interest in building themselves new chambers than fixing streets and sidewalks.
Measure T1 Community Meetings are every Thursday in October from 6:30 – 8:30 pm. Note that every Thursday evening except October 29th T1 will conflict with at least one normally scheduled Board/Commission meeting that starts at 7 pm.

Tuesday the Mayor will do the self-promoting State of the City – the zoom meeting link is still not posted. And, the Mayor and Council are finally doing the City Manager evaluation behind closed doors which is about 4 years overdue.
The agenda for the October 13 Regular City Council meeting is available for comment.
