I keep seeing more and more requests for input. Feels awkward because I work for a non-United Way Agency, but it seems they want community input and you should give it to them

It's a week where if you care about city government and attend meetings you'll have to be in three places at once, especially tonight.

Uh . . . duh . . . shows you how close they are following one of their allegedly important issues . . . makes me wonder if they have any credibility discussing planning . . .

This is what has been distracting me all week, (I'm on the board of WYOU as well as being a producer) . . . laying off three very good people and trying to figure out what needs to be done to keep the station running. What the station will become in this new era is up to us! If you want to help, let me know! And, hey, if you can donate, please do. It's more important than ever!

Looks like 3 items, plus anything the public shows up to speak to or public hearing items.

8 meetings, 1 cancelled, 1 agenda not available, so here's the info I have on the 6 meetings.

Democracy, equity, sunshine, open government, and, well, me (and you), all get to score a point today! And when you see the city clerk, tell her (and whomever helped make this decision) thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

So, last Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, I attended the meeting of the Urban Design Commission to hear the latest on the 700 E Washington/Gebhardt project. I showed up at 5:20 at the same time as 2 of the 4 members of the public that showed up - and the item scheduled for 5:25 had already finished the presentation and taken public comment.

Tonight the Council will be voting on if you should be able to bring your dog to local festivals. I read the newspaper...

The longest day of the year . . . also one of the saddest.

In Andrea's own words:

So, the meeting tonight is publicly noticed on the Weekly Schedule, the EOC meeting on Thursday is not. yet. noticed. grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. If you can't make it, read on to get email addresses to let the committee members know what you think.
