1:00 PM MEETING WITH HIS HOLINESS THE DALAI LAMA 1919 ALLIANT ENERGY CENTER WAY, GREEN ROOM
- Funny that this made it on the weekly meeting list, but no mention of the Meet and Greet with the Business Community/Lobbyists at the Brink Lounge later this evening that has been planned since last April. Here’s the info.
Alders, Mayor, Mayoral Staff and Department/Division Heads,
Let me take this opportunity to express my appreciation to the alders, the Mayor, Mayoral staff and the department/division heads who were able to take the time out of their busy schedules last year to attend the first Meet & Greet Reception held on June 26. We were able to meet many individuals from the various organizations attending the event in an informal social setting; the African American Black Business Association, Downtown Madison, Inc., Greater Madison Chamber of Commerce, Greater Madison Convention & Visitors Bureau, Latino Chamber of Commerce, Small Business Advisory Council and Smart Growth Madison.
Feedback from those of you that were able to attend the first event was so positive that there have been many requests to organize a second Meet & Greet Reception. There also appears to be agreement that the event include an exchange with the Madison Small Business community, given the number of small business owners that are not part of a formal business association or organization. We are asking you to suggest any invitations that should be extended for this reception to ensure maximum attendance. Please send your suggestions to Lisa Veldran, Administrative Assistant to the Council, lveldran@cityofmadison.com.
We recognize how challenging your schedule can be and we want to give you ample time to put this reception on your calendar. A tentative date for the reception has been scheduled for:Tuesday, July 22, 2008
5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.
The Brink Lounge, 701 E. Washington Avenue.
Hopefully you will be able to find the time out of your busy schedule to once again attend this event. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thank you.Ald. Tim Bruer, District 14
4:30 PM WATER UTILITY BOARD 119 E. OLIN AVENUE, ROOMS A & B
- Water Conservation Plan
- Status Report regarding Disposal of Surplus Property at 4002 Nakoosa Trail. (no link)
- Heads up to those following the Truman Olson issue – rumor has it, this is a potential site for housing for the homeless. No worries, the site is isolated and the neighbors likely won’t complain.

12:00 PM TAX INCREMENTAL FINANCING POLICY AD HOC COMMITTEE ROOM LL-130 MMB
- Final meeting? Really, seriously, it could be!
Also, I’m pretty sure there are two other meetings of interest this week that haven’t made it on the agenda.
- Wednesday 8 am at the Water Utility Building is the public hearing on Child Care funding for 2009-2010
- Friday 8 am in room LL-120 at the Madison Municipal Building (215 MLK) might be the final meeting of the Inclusionary Zoning Oversight Committee to issue our annual report and recommendations for the Mayor.
