Finally! It’s back to City Hall today
Thursday, November 6, 2014 by Elizabeth Pagano
After several months of displaced meetings while City Hall was being renovated for the new, larger City Council, the Council chambers are once again open, and today’s meeting will be held there. We at the Austin Monitor are excited to see the changes, which should include a larger dais, more space for media and, hopefully, a more diffuse way of distributing cold air than the previous system. At Tuesday’s work session, Council Member Laura Morrison predicted that today’s meeting will “probably be pretty crazy.” It’s safe to assume that can be translated into “will be a super-long meeting.” Stay up-to-date through our Twitter accounts for real-time updates on when the excitement wears off.
