City Week Ahead

Input on the city’s budget taken Tuesday night, Salvation Army project funding, Assessor Q&A on impact of F-35s and more.

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 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.

NOTE: For those of you who are weekly readers of “The Week Ahead” you may also be interested in checking out the home page that aggravates (rounds up) the local news multiple times a day instead of waiting for daily “round up” post. To submit government related press releases send them to forwardlookout@gmail.com
