Additional City Meetings

I stopped doing these cuz they make me mad . . . the “week ahead” is a farce. There are typically 4 – 10 additional meetings that pop up during the week and you have to do these daily to keep up. Here’s the 4 meetings that showed up yesterday, there will likely be more this week.

Yes, as mayor, I’d fix this. Agendas should be out a week in advance, and AT LEAST by the Friday before so the “weekly schedule” is actually a weekly schedule. If they are not, how can committee members be prepared and how can the public know what meetings they might like to attend and plan for it (babysitters, car sharing, doggy care, etc.)

– This is a notice of possible quorum . . . but I can’t see the agenda or tell why there might be a possible quorum . . . so they didn’t meet the legal requirements as far as I can tell. But it may have been posted on the wall outside the clerks office? It may also be that they meant to say 5:30 for the Racial Equity Social Justice Initiative Training? Unclear
