Dane

As expected, here are more city meetings. I think I caught them all, here are the details on 8 more city meetings and 2 more county meetings.

This is probably off too due to the power outage on Friday and staff being sent home. I'd check back for updates if I don't do them.

Focus group for Dane County Human Services consumers, forging ahead with Alliant Energy Center, disparities in entertainment, presentations on Juvenile Detention expansion and Child Protective Services (CPS), Lakes and Watershed budget recommendations and more.

County Board meets this week, Airport Commission meets, investigating why we can't build more floors on the current jail and more.

Only 4 meetings, all of them Monday this week. Very long Personnel and Finance Agenda.

This press release was sent out at 6am this morning, but I don't think one single reporter called.  I don't know what to make of that.  I guess its not sexy enough, not like when someone gets fired.

Criminal Justice Council looks at decarcertation plans and changing its membership, purchasing land for Babcock Park and more.

County Executive Joe Parisi likes to talk about Dane County values. And politicians like to say that a budget is a reflection of those values. Given recent events, what exactly are Dane County's values?

Very short county board meeting, but three new supervisors being sworn in. Alliant Energy Redevelopment committee meets to regroup on its funding, and Executive Committee will be discussing the size of the county board.

Random things you might be interested in, mostly related to local government and the City of Madison.  Many additional government meetings.

Also many meetings! Question of the week - who was responsible for not being able to build additional floors on the current jail?

$225M or $1,000 for an average property tax payer for the jail, $10M for Pheasant Ridge property the largest decisions that the county has every made . . . and 40,000 residents won't have representation on Thursday . . . the three new county board supervisors elected on Tuesday won't be seated in time to vote on these items.
