The Cinco de Mayo Week Ahead

Here's this week's exercise in trying to be in more than one place at once. These are the meetings I'm interested in, the full schedule can be found here. As usual, there are a few meetings in Legistar that are not on the schedule and therefore, likely not properly noticed.

• We were supposed to have a long meeting to get this over with, however, the chair decided that we will end at 5:30 tonight.

Likely not properly noticed meets are as follows:

Hopefully these meetings get properly noticed on time for them still to meet. I wish the clerk had enough staff to check this every week.

And, there are meetings not listed, that will likely pop up this week. So check back with the Weekly Meeting Schedule. One meeting of interest is the Inclusionary Zoning Committee's race to get recommendations to the Mayor by July 1, that meeting will be Friday at 8am - every week.
