City Council will once again convene for a meeting at City Hall today and, as a preview of sorts, we’ve compiled our best guesses as to what might be of interest at the meeting.

Greetings and welcome to another round of Austin City Council. As usual, we’ve rounded up the most-likely-to-be-interesting parts of today’s agenda, but the whole thing is online for those who would prefer to make up their own minds. Among other things, Council will consider the purchase of the downtown Salvation Army property. The building was […]

The nitty-gritty of said meeting can be found online, as usual, but we’ve taken some time to read through and make somewhat-educated guesses about what might be interesting today.  As discussed at their most recent Public Safety Committee meeting, Council is set to take […]
