The week of November 6 has items of possible interest to residents of district 2 at the Parks Long Range Planning Subcommittee, the Finance Committee, the Plan Commission, the Habitat Stewardship Subcommittee (Parks), the Urban Design Commission, and the Public Safety Review Committee. The city meeting agenda items are open for testimony from the public should you be interested in weighing in.  I also appreciate hearing from you on any items on which you have a particular interest or concern so please send me an email or give me a call.

Also, committees and commissions have an opportunity at the beginning of each agenda for Public Comment on items not on the agenda.  If you have something you want to share with a committee or commission, you can use the Public Comment time to do so.
