I thought last Tuesday was bad having 4 meetings scheduled in 2 hours. This Wednesday, I am on two committees that meet at the same time, need to be at a third and fourth and fifth and would like to be at a sixth and seventh meeting. All of which start between 4:45 and 6:30!
This is work in progress. It should be done by 10:30 am. (Heh, should.)

12:00 PM EMERGING NEIGHBORHOODS FUND COMMITTEE CCB, ROOM 523-DEPT OF CIVIL RIGHTS CONFERENCE ROOM
– This may be one of the last times they have to meet! The Mayor cut $150,000 of their $200,000 budget and I don’t think any one thinks the remaining $50,000 should remain.
4:30 PM BOARD OF ESTIMATES MMB, ROOM 260
– They have 10 items on the agenda before we get to the main event, which is our first crack at asking department heads about their budgets for 2009. This is the only time that they get to do their dog and pony shows. Here’s the detailed schedule of which departments will present each night.

4:45 PM BOARD OF ESTIMATES SPECIAL MEETING: CONTINUATION OF OPERATING BUDGET DISCUSSION MMB, ROOM 260
– Asking questions of the rest of the department heads. Here’s the detailed schedule of which departments will present each night.
Wednesday, October 15, 2008
There really is something wrong when you have Board of Public Works, Urban Design, Landmarks, Housing, Economic Development, Community Services, Parks Commission and the Board of Education City Liaison Committee meeting all at essentially the same time!
(This just in: Please note that due to other conflicts, the meeting scheduled for Wednesday, October 15, (of the Board of Education City Liaison Committee) has been cancelled. The committee is scheduled to meet next on Wednesday, November 19, at 5:30 p.m., here at Doyle in Room 103.)
4:30 PM BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS CCB, ROOM 108
– Marsten Ave. schedule of assessments. (#7 & 28 No links.)
4:30 PM CDA HOUSING OPERATIONS SUBCOMMITTEE MMB, SUITE 120 CONFERENCE ROOM (FIRST FLOOR)
– They’ll be discussing the committee to merger the county and city housing authorities that the mayor wants to put together.
4:30 PM URBAN DESIGN COMMISSION MMB, ROOM LL-110
– The mega movie entertainment center.
– The mall on N. Sherman Ave.
– Meriter Campus Master Plan
4:45 PM LANDMARKS COMMISSION MMB, ROOM LL-130
– Landmark designation for the glass bank.
– Certificate of appropriateness for Tenney Park Ice Skating Shelter.
5:00 PM ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION MMB, ROOM 260
– TIF Policy
– Prioritization of 3 – 5 year plan
– Plus, I’m sure their discussion of the 2009 budgets will be of interest.
5:00 PM HOUSING COMMITTEE MMB, ROOM 300
– Reviewing the staff’s IZ report.
– Will we ever have a housing plan for the City of Madison?
– Committee on CDA and CDHA merger?
– Update from CDA/Mark Olinger on their activities. This is at least the third time this has been on the agenda, I wonder if it will happen this time?
– Affordable Housing Trust Fund
5:35 PM COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION GOODMAN COMMUNITY CENTER, 149 WAUBESA ST, EVJUE ROOM,
– Um . . . this is the “wtf just happened?” meeting. The budget discussion is likely to take up most of the meeting. The loss of staff and the lack of cola increases that the Mayor promised are likely to be quite the topic of discussion. I think this is one of the agencies that got hit the worst in this year’s budget . . . despite the call from police for more services.
6:30 PM BOARD OF PARK COMMISSIONERS WARNER PARK COMMUNITY RECREATION CENTER, 1625 NORTHPORT DR
– Alcohol in the parks report. (No link.)
– The trees! Stump grubbing, emerald ash borer and pruning schedules.
– Property of the homeless left in parks.
