UPDATE Streaming Video + Agenda for Mesa City Council STUDY SESSION Thu 26 April 2018

During meetings, citizens have the right and are encouraged to address the council on items pertaining to the agenda. . . 

Speaking at a Meeting

The Mesa City Council believes that providing access for citizens to communicate with the Council is vital for a strong representative local government.  Getting access is one thing - exercising your rights as a citizen is the NEXT STEP.

Here's a streaming vid upload of the almost two-hour study session with Candace Cannistraro in the hotseat again, over-using the word 'challenges' trying to build a flimsy case to support increases . . she's looking a bit overworked grinding out some power point slides that get flipped over too fast . . .  PLEASE READ THE AGENDA BELOW BEFORE YOU WATCH THE VIDEO. The presentations for this study session are linked to there if you want to spend some time looking at the infographics.
> Hear a presentation, discuss, and provide direction on an overview of the FY 2019-2023 Capital Improvement Program

> Hear a presentation, discuss, and provide direction on potential future general obligation bond projects including transportation, public safety, parks and cultural projects, and a youth sports complex

> Hear a presentation, discuss, and provide direction on the Development Services Department budget

It's remarkable to note that only an hour-and-a-half has been scheduled for all six items.  

TODAY'S STUDY SESSION IS A BIG DEAL WITH SIX IMPORTANT ITEMS ON THE AGENDA:. There's usually a presentation of some sorts 9usually involving a canned Power Point presentation, someone reading along from the prepared script - then there DISCUSSION on the agenda item. Every single one of the six items can involved hours to see the history and background and to understand what is going on .. .

Why the time may 'be ripe' for some of the actions to be taken - or delayed or more work needed - get involved.

FOUR  ITEMS CAN IMPACT YOU:

> Hear a presentation, discuss, and provide direction on

   a proposed sales tax initiative for public safety > Is that an INCREASE? ( or hidden 'adjustments ' in fees/charges?)
