AGENDA: Mesa City Council Study Session Thu 15 Feb 2018

Here's keeping you informed on the items scheduled to be presented and discussed at today's session - it's your government at work. If representative democracy is going to work, then you need to actively get involved and informed about what elected officials are doing in your interests that impact or may impact your life. 
Heads Up!
Up today an MOU with R3MESA LLC and an IGA with ASU in downtown Mesa about "Education Facilities" - their development, operation and maintenance.
The first step is knowing what's going on in these public sessions for your input.

Although very few residents and citizens take advantage of it, people who live here are provided an opportunity to address the Council on any issue under an agenda item titled "Items from Citizens Present."
The Mesa City Council believes that its people, not leaders, are what makes a City great and actively works to encourage citizen participation in the decision-making process. Whether it is through neighborhood meetings, advisory boards and committees, telephone calls and letters, or email, the Mesa City Council sets policies based on the input and needs of its citizens - that's YOU and YOU and YOU and YOU + YOU
PLEASE NOTE: During meetings, citizens may address the council on items pertaining to the agenda
