12 youth serve on county committees every year. They are full committee members and can participate in all the discussion, but their vote...

City Meetings Cancelled today, and a few added for tomorrow and Friday.

It's been cancelled.

The City of Madison Common council is about to adopt the report - meaning this will become city policy and directives, so what are they adopting? Here's a summary of the action taken and the summary of the 48 page report. It also includes a great appendix about Equitable Economic Development - which I think is the most interesting part of the report.

Random things happening around town and in local government.

A couple cancelled meetings and meetings at 9am, 12:15pm and 12:15pm.

Only 11 meetings, but I know there are some missing - like the Task Force on City Government Subcommittee (oh, the irony) that meets on Friday at 2. There are also three other meetings in legistar with no agenda. So at least 25% of the meetings aren't yet noticed. Council meeting this week and I guess we'll see what else - look for Mo' Meetings!

I'm working on updating the look and functionality of the blog . . . and I expect to have several issues, so please be...

Downtown parking is going to be messed up for weeks now . . . a simple "request" to have people move their cars isn't going to work. This is absurd.

It ain't Madison! With record numbers of money raised for the mayor's race, I was curious where the money was coming from . . . there's a ton of money coming in from outside of Madison and outside of the state!

I video recorded the last meetings of the Task Force on Government Structure and their two subcommittees on Boards Committees and Commission and the subcommittee on the Common Council. Both subcommittees reported back to the main committee and have written reports on their identification of which issues they think should be looked at and what alternatives they might have. So I've included those reports as well. The subcommittees meet again today and tomorrow to continue their work.

Here's a smattering of random announcements and the changes to the weekly schedule since yesterday - 5 extra meetings that weren't listed Monday morning.
