BIG AGENDA for Mesa City Council Study Session Thu 15 Feb 2018

It's a long session with a lot of starting time taken up by the issue of homelessness that's only increasing here in Mesa no matter what this presentation wants to tell you - still looking for new solutions in the cloud of bureaucratic jargon. The homeless are more visible here in downtown than ever before - it's not hard to see that, 
There are other REALLY BIG ISSUES to know about:
> another proposal  by a private developer on a city-owned parking lot done with a Memorandum of Understanding
> One way or another, city planning officials want to pave the way 'with incentives' with ASU for educational facilities.
PLEASE READ THE AGENDA first - and if you have the time or interest this Study Session is almost three hours long to discuss the agenda items. The City often does the agenda scheduling this way to put an important topic first to wear-out your short attention spans and then present agenda items that have financial consequences for taxpayers.
