Here ya go . . . all things I think are exciting in the week ahead. Well, actually, not everything, only interesting agenda items for city meetings! 🙂

4:30 PM BOARD OF ESTIMATES ROOM 260 MMB
– Labor agreements and changes in personnel, that will get no attention or comment from BOE members, yet again.
– More undoing some of the stupidity that we passed with the reorganization of the Planning and Development Department. This time, changing the name of Building Inspection, back to Building Inspection, instead of the silly Neighborhood Preservation title that was intended to make it look like they were doing something for neighborhoods, not just economic development. Didn’t work.
– The TIF policy!
– Discussion of the first portion of the Capital Budget.
5:15 PM MADISON BOARD OF POLICE AND FIRE COMMISSIONERS, MAY CONVENE INTO CLOSED SESSION 201 W. MIFFLIN ST.
– Who the hell knows what they might talk about. It’s so annoying. I think I’m interested in something on the agenda, but I can’t tell.

4:30 PM BOARD OF ESTIMATES SPECIAL MEETING: CONTINUATION OF CAPITAL BUDGET DISCUSSION ROOM 260 MMB
5:00 PM AFFIRMATIVE ACTION COMMISSION ROOM LL-120 MMB
– Dang! They will be talking about diversity in hiring and the report that the committee did early this year. Complete with comments from the Mayor’s office. Except no one will be paying attention since we’re all supposed to be learning more about the Capital Budget. In fact . . . didn’t we say committees weren’t supposed to meet on budget nights?

12:00 PM COMMON COUNCIL BROWN BAG BRIEFING ON THE ZONING CODE REWRITE 201 W. MIFFLIN ST. ROOM 202

4:45 PM LANDMARKS COMMISSION ROOM LL-130 MMB
– St. Ray’s.
– Approving two demolitions after the fact
– Wind/solar ordinance is back. Turns out it wasn’t a little technical upgrade as we were told!
5:00 PM COMMON COUNCIL ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITTEE ROOM 103A CCB
– Recommending to fill the vacancy left by Zach Brandon leaving the council.
– Dealing with our council budget that was submitted without us seeing it and some personnel matters. (We should be going into closed session, but it wasn’t noticed on the original agenda.)
5:30 PM ZONING CODE REWRITE ADVISORY COMMITTEE 330 W. MIFFLIN ST, ROOMS 1 & 2
– More important reports from the consultants sure to be given at lightening pace. Without enough time to discuss this important issue in the detail it deserves.
5:35 PM COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION ROOM 260 MMB
– Neighborhood Indicators (sorry, its a useless link.)
6:30 PM BOARD OF PARK COMMISSIONERS 1625 NORTHPORT DR, WPCRC
– They might be raising the rental fees in parks, but I’m not sure. Can’t tell from the agenda, no links to the information.
Bonus points for anyone that can tell me how to be at 4:45 Landmarks, 5:00 CCOC & 5:30 Zoning Code Rewrite committee.
