Mayor and Council (via bcc),
Here is an early look at the 3/14 agenda. It was delayed because of Strategic Planning and the
network crash.
Please remember this is a draft – it will change; many of the staff reports are still being drafted; you
may not share or distribute it.
If you have any questions, please let me know ASAP.
It’s a VERY light agenda without new business. Accordingly, we will start closed session at 530pm and
open session will begin immediately upon conclusion of closed session rather than 7pm.
Thank you.
