He will likely do more talking than listening. "Listening" will likely be limited and controlled. These are dog and pony shows for the upcoming budget. Rallying support for his next PR stunt. Since those of us with concerns are "raging lunatics" or "gloryholing nincompoops" according to our fine MPD, we will likely just be ignored. Praise for the department always welcome, he just can't get enough.

Monday there are two BOE meetings. One is the Board of Estimates, which is the city finance meeting. One is the Madison School Board of Board of Education. Both will be voting on the contract for police in schools on Monday (4:30 and 6:00). The Common Council will (most likely) vote the day after Labor Day.

Hmmm, the item in the "library" is from last week . . . so there more may be more meetings, but I don't know how to find out where they are. Also, these are the legal notices, so if its wrong . . .

7 ish meetings - one meeting has 6 notices because its a joint meeting between several committees on several issues and they have their own business to do. 3 of the meetings are before 5:00.

15 meetings - only 5 start at 5:00 or after . . .

2 meetings - MSCR and Badger Rock.

13 meetings, 2 agendas missing, 4 meetings before 5:00.

13 meetings, one cancelled, only 4 start at 5:00, the rest are earlier in the day when many can't attend.

Working 60 - 70 hours a week and trying to have a life have interfered, so I've been a bit negligent. Here's a few things to get caught up . . . Edgewater noise, changes at family shelter, see the vendors who applied to work on police policy and procedure, late meeting notices, OM Village needs volunteers for hte store and then the surprise temporary plan for the day resource center and Schenk's Corner Block Party this Friday and Saturday!

37 separate violations of the Madison Police Department Code of Conduct, Standard Operating Procedures and City of Madison Administrative Procedure Memorandums!

Only two meetings tonight - evaluating the Superintendent and Referendum

12 meetings, 8 at 5:00 or after! Best ratio I've seen in a long time!
