Friday, March 20, 2015 by Elizabeth Pagano
Next week, City Hall watchers will get their first real taste of what the new City Council Committee structure will look like. At 9 a.m. Monday, the entire Council will meet to learn about public safety and how the city “responds to citizen requests for service.” Then at 3 p.m., the Economic Opportunity Committee will meet for the first time. At 4 p.m., the Public Safety Committee will meet. On Tuesday, Council will hold its work session at 9 a.m. On Wednesday, both the Audit and Finance Committee and the Mobility Committee will meet at 9 a.m.; the Open Space, Environment and Sustainability Committee will meet at 2 p.m.; and the Housing and Community Development Council will meet at 4 p.m. On Thursday, Council members will hold their regular meeting.
