^HEADS UP^ Agenda for Today's Mesa City Council Study Session The 31 May 2018

This is NOT just another 'Study Session' - the agenda was made public less than 48 hours ago. Ready for more debt?
Members of the public may find that too short notice to take the time or to understand what the details are all about - all too frequently that's the case when the City Council tries to reduce any opportunities for public oversight to keep government here in Mesa open, transparent and accountable.
These two items alone involve millions of dollars and increasing the public debt that is financed by taxpayers sooner or later.
Two items out of six stand out PAY ATTENTION PLEASE
1. A long-term lease with the Arizona Board of Regents** and related budget
2. General Obligation Bond Projects including transportation, public safety, parks and cultural projects
Mesa Plays for the 2018 election ???

Just one is the Arizona Center for Investigative Reporting.
