.@D5Kitchen now questioning why the student body isn’t appointing members to the committee. @kathietovo explains it’s like other commissions May 11, 2017 02:34 PM
Non-shocking news: @GregCasar notes that his own university administration would never have appointed him to a commission (he was a critic) May 11, 2017 02:40 PM

Environmental Commission holds off on water quality requirements (again) – (via @SommerBrugal ) May 11, 2017 02:50 PM
Flannigan is now saying he believes commission should be geographic, as all are (followed by a long list of exceptions.) May 11, 2017 02:53 PM
.@LesliePoolATX points out that the resolution can pass and then it can be worked out during ordinance process (this is just a resolution.) May 11, 2017 02:54 PM
.@kathietovo thinks there should be some direction in the resolution. @JimmyFlannigan thinks its too prescriptive. That’s the current debate May 11, 2017 02:55 PM
.@JimmyFlannigan iwithdraws amendment, voting symbolic “no” but does support the commission, confident ppl know there are details to resolve May 11, 2017 02:58 PM
.@kathietovo says that geographic diversity isn’t as important in this case, it’s more about repping the university. May 11, 2017 02:59 PM

Council is back, y’all! May 11, 2017 05:07 PM
Item 25
On Item 25 — taking testimony now, but it will be postponed for a week, with a promise to take it up early in the agenda. May 11, 2017 05:09 PM
People can speak now, but trying not to get in the weeds. May 11, 2017 05:09 PM
One exception is Dan Becker, who is in from out-of-town, speaking in favor of the appellant, about why demo permits should not be issued. May 11, 2017 05:12 PM
Becker is running down the issues with the preservation staff report that cleared the way for the demo permit, and why homes are historic May 11, 2017 05:14 PM
Argues that historic preservation program concentrates on “big house on the hill” instead of vernacular styles like this. May 11, 2017 05:16 PM
Council approves the postponement. Adjourned! May 11, 2017 05:23 PM
