There's an 8:00 am Inclusionary Zoning Oversight committee meeting that is not yet on the schedule. Last week, we didn't vote for repeal. It's too early, we haven't finished considering our other options.

CDA and Parks Commission win the award for least helpful agendas. You essentially have to go to the meetings in order to find out what they are going to talk about within the broad topics they have listed and to get any information - if they bring enough hand outs.

Stay dry folks!
