Thursday, Chief of Staff Ray Baray sent out a “save the date” memo that laid out a rather extensive itinerary of so-called “policy deep-dives” for the new City Council. The sessions will last from 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. and are scheduled for Feb. 2, 3, 5, 9, 17, 19 and 23, with the option of an additional March 2 meeting, if needed. Additionally, a Council-staff “retreat” is being planned for March 6 and 7. That retreat will, according to the memo, “allow Council an opportunity to debrief on these sessions and hold additional discussions.” The proposed informational sessions were detailed in a previous Monitor article, which can be found here.
