Because we think we can get away with only having one meeting in August, our agenda for tonight is really 99 pages long with 233 items. That’s alot of items, many will be referred for introduction or quickly disposed of because they are routine, but this agenda does have more than usual items of interest, here there are.

Should be a long night. But before the meeting even starts, I’m going to try to be in two places at once and attend the emergency Housing Committee meeting on Allied Drive while also attending to the Common Council Organizational Committee meeting that is full of items I placed on the agenda, so I’ll miss everyone at that Impeachment Rally prior to the Council meeting. (Still working on more links!)
