East High to use Breese Stevens Field for football and soccer/
From Anita Weier:
Greetings:
The City Parks Division has proposed a resolution that would allow East High School
to obtain priority access to Breese Stevens Field for football and soccer games.
The Madison Metropolitan School District and the Parks Division have agreed on the matter,
according to the draft resolution.
The City Council will be considering the resolution, but I am not sure of the date.
I thank this is great for East High teams and fans who have had to travel to LaFollette High for games.
I am co-sponsoring the resolution, as are other alders.
18th District Alder Anita Weier

Billboards forever! Discussed for forever!
Yup – reconsideration will be at the council meeting on Tuesday, so they may be discussing billboards AGAIN! 3rd time is a charm?
Strasser asked Schmidt to put it on the agenda, and indicated he will make the motion. The President puts these on at the request of an alder who wants to make the motion. Strasser or one of the 6 who voted against it must make the motion to reconsider
Public Market Survey
The City of Madison is continuing to make progress on planning for the Madison Public Market District. The work completed so far has been shaped by community input and ideas gathered through several surveys and public meetings. Now, the city is conducting an “Equity Analysis” to evaluate how future decisions about the Public Market can have a positive impact on communities of color and lower income residents. Input from this survey will help shape the implementation of the Public Market project. The survey can be completed online at the link below and should take about 10 minutes. Thanks for your input. www.surveymonkey.com/s/XN6JT7G If you have follow up ideas or questions, please contact Dan Kennelly, 608-267-1968
