City of Madison Week Ahead? – 3/16/20 (Updated)

UPDATED:  To reflect additional cancellations (12:54, Monday, 3/16/20)

At the moment there are at least 6 cancelled meetings.  I’d expect more by next week.  One one meeting noticed with people appearing by phone.  Conoronavirus update and Council meeting plus so much more.

GUIDE TO THE WEEK AHEAD

What is listed here

All the meetings and agendas that are posted at the time of publishing this blog post are here.  I noted the items I think people will be interested in or are not routine items, you may want to click on the links to the agendas to make sure I didn’t miss anything. I generally list routine reports as “Reports” even when there are a dozen or more reports, especially if nothing is attached in legistar. These are the meetings that were posted at close of business on Friday in legistar and may change throughout the week. I do my best to update through Mo’ Meetings on the home page throughout the week if I’m aware of changes. If you think I missed anything, please don’t hesitate to let me know at forwardlookout@gmail.com. Here is the guide to how I put the city week ahead together.

Listen on WORT

For highlights of the most interesting or popular items, listen to WORT FM live on Monday at 6:00 on their Local News Segment or listen to WORT Local News – Monday in the archives.  For an extended version of our WORT segment, see the home page on the right hand side.

Timely news and meeting updates

For those of you who are weekly readers of “The Week Ahead” you may also be interested in checking out the home page that aggregates (round ups) the local news multiple times a day instead of waiting for daily “round up” post. This also has the Mo’ Meetings that used to be their own post.  To submit government related press releases or let us know about any errors, email at forwardlookout@gmail.com

APM 3-2 AND CORONAVIRUS

APMs are Administrative Procedures Memoranda (executive orders) that are created by the mayor’s office.  As such, they could be changed by the Mayor’s office.  In light of the coronavirus, lifting this restriction could keep city business moving forward and not make people expose themselves to public health risks.

Appearances by Telephone – Whenever a City body anticipates that a member will appear by telephone/teleconference or that a person shall be testifying or appearing by telephone/teleconference, staff shall ensure that the meeting notice/agenda specifically and conspicuously identifies which persons or members shall be appearing by such means. A member so participating shall count towards the official quorum of the body. Staff shall be responsible for coordinating the use of appropriate equipment so that the attending public can readily observe such person’s participation in the meeting. No person shall be allowed to participate in any meeting where the meeting notice failed to state the person would appear by telephone/teleconference means or where such equipment is unavailable or unusable at the time of the meeting.
