I’ll only be in town Monday and Tuesday, but it looks like another big week ahead. Tho there is alot of missing information this week. First of all, the clerk’s office has last week’s schedule on the Weekly Meeting Schedule late Saturday night when I’m writing this. (It was fixed by Sun at 1:30 or so – or at least that is when someone noticed and let me know.) Does that mean that all meetings for Monday need to be cancelled? I’m trying to find out. Second, some of the agendas for meetings that are supposed to be happening this week are missing or still need to be amended, so here’s my best guess at what is going on and where I think things have gone wrong at the moment. Tho, I can’t possibly keep track of everything going on in City Hall and I could be mistaken and without the official schedule to verify, I”m kind of guessing. I can’t imagine how Joe or Jane Citizen is supposed to try to get involved under circumstances like this. Well, here it is, I’ll be starting my Monday morning, bright and early at 8 AM working on marketing issues for Inclusionary Zoning, if we can legally meet? Here’s the other meetings of interest this week.
MONDAY
TIF Meeting – 5:00
TUESDAY
Common Council meeting – 6:30
WEDNESDAY
Alcohol License Review Board 5:30
– Alcohol Density Plan
Transport 2020 Implementation Task Force 5:30
– City of Madison Substitute Resolution ID 06762, “Supporting the Expansion of Multi-Modal Public Transit in the Madison Metropolitan Area and State Legislation that Enables the Creation of a Regional Transportation Authority”: Review of Resolution by Dane (and the agenda stops here . . . but I”m guessing its meant to mean that they are reviewing the Dane County Board resolution on the RTA.)
Community Services Commission 5:35
– 2008 POS Budget Recommendations (Who’s getting cut this year due to the Mayor’s instructions for 3% cut?)
THURSDAY
Long Range Transportation Planning Commission 5:00
– Sounds like the LRTPC will be taking up the RTA resolution according to the mayor, but as of the time I blogged this, it wasn’t on the LRTPC agenda. This is supposed to be a joint meeting with the Transit and Parking Commission, but they don’t have an agenda yet either.
Downtown Coordinating Committee 5:30
– Halloween Resolutions (1, 2, 3)
Sorry this post is not as useful as it should be . . . the City of Madison deserves an F for transparency this week in my book. And if I was a member of the public and not a public official, I would completely in the dark. This has to change! Soon!
