3 pages!!! But only two items actually separated, so they will talk about 2 items plus whatever you want to speak to! This is the last council meeting of this session . . . the next council will be completely new! Or, more than likely, practically all the same. Alder Gruber will be out and Arvina Martin or Bradley Campbell will be new. And there are races in District 1 – Barbara McKinney, District 8 – Zach Woods, District 10 – Mo Cheeks, District 14 – Sheri Carter. My guess is, they all stay in office.
