What Will the Council Talk About Tonight? (Corrected, Updated)
Everything on tonight's agenda will be passed with the recommendations noted on the agenda in one motion except the items people show up to talk about, things alders might pull off the consent agenda at the last minute and the following:
City and County Affordable Housing Fund Debates Thursday
This is it! The new alders all ran for office saying they wanted to work on affordable housing. This is our big opportunity, $11 million dollars will be spent. Will it make a huge difference, or be more of the same old, same old? Will we see big radical meaningful changes?
Round Up
Another smattering of events, notices, meetings, announcements and things going on around town.
City Week Ahead
Includes a meeting tomorrow (Saturday), at least two missing agendas (Solid Waste, Police Ad Hoc), Council meeting this week, liquor license non-renewals and more.
Snow Plowing Update
Yeah. Seriously.
Mayor’s Capital Budget Message
Sounds a bit familiar, but a bit of a twist. The mayor's capital budget does the typical "no new projects" but there is more talk of climate change, equity, planning, priorities and ranking and more narrative justifications.
Mo’ (Cancelled) Meetings
If you're keeping track, 2 more cancelled meetings makes 4 cancelled meetings and 4 added meetings this week. 8 changes in 3 days.
Round Up!
Common Council Executive Committee Appointments, new Deputy Mayor, Weaponizing Truax, Crazy Legs Traffic Impacts and more.
Mo’ Meetings
If you add up Monday's changes with today's changes we have 2 cancelled meetings and 4 added meetings since I did the City Week Ahead post.

A quick 40 minute meeting, mostly an opportunity for education. The new members of the committee are Keith Furman, Rebecca Kemble, Mayor Rhodes-Conway, Shiva Bidar, Mike Verveer, Barbara McKinney and Donna Hurd.
