Lots of missing agendas this week and very little on the docket which is typical of late August.

This is the presentation from Finance Department on the police budget to the Public Safety Review Committee subcommittee on budget.

Well, this is what the email says . . . it may change before or at the meeting!  Half the agenda has new recommendations for action by the council.

Capital budget amendments, public hearing on the police budget, affordable housing issues and more!

Oops, forgot to post!  Sorry if you missed some Monday meetings!  Plenty left, including Council meeting this week.
