Meeting Notice & Agenda

City Council Chambers 57 E. 1st Street, Lower Level

HERE'S YOUR MESAZONA BLOGGER'S TAKE-AWAY:
Following all the scheduled presentations in discussions opened up by Bill Jabjiniak, GPEC board member Rich Adams nearly startled everyone in the room to say Mesa is still looking for A Sense of Place - much like Tempe Town Lake re-generated downtown Tempe. What an imagination!

An ambitious agenda to start on the first meeting of the new fiscal year after taking a month off, with one new appointment to replace Terry Benelli [absent at this meeting] and two re-appointments to the voting members. Agenda items outlined a correction to approved minutes from May ...Bill has some guests, Patrick Murphy from the City's sustainability office makes a presentation, Kaye O'Donnell and JD Beatty talk about metrics

Here's a group-selfie of some of the board members and dinner guests last night posted on Twitter yesterday
