Harper-Madison returns to the dais

City Council Member Natasha Harper-Madison returned to the dais on Tuesday after taking a temporary leave of absence to address mental health issues. Harper-Madison came back to chair Council’s Housing and Planning Committee, a topic of special interest to her. At the end of the meeting, Harper-Madison thanked her colleagues for their attention to the committee’s business. She said, “I look forward to chairing this committee in 2024 and I invite my colleagues to share ideas and feedback from this past year. Together, we, this committee, worked with staff to make some sense of the vast backlog of Council resolutions related to the Land Development Code and housing.” She emphasized the work the committee has done without minimizing the fact that there is still much to do.
