Feb 20 - Council Study Session on Planning Processes

Interestingly enough, the City Council and Design Review Board held an untelevised study session this afternoon, the third in its series, on the topic of planning processes. The meeting, held in the Council Chambers at City Hall, was not televised.

Remember during the election blitz the promises of open doors and councilmember-elects wanting to hear public comment and input? If they were so interested, why did they schedule a study session that was not televised, and scheduled in the afternoon, when most people are at a job and possibly can't get away to give input? Perhaps someone in attendance at the afternoon session can enlighten the rest of us as to what was discussed.

I hope this isn't setting a tone for the future 'study sessions' and other 'special meetings'.
