Agenda > Mesa City Council Study Session Mon 04 June 2018

Wheee! Here we go again: Just 5 minutes 5:45-5:50 [No way]
Welcome to the Agenda of your elected government
Do you have any idea what's up for review today??
No clue at all? Hey! There's no excuse for that - none.
Once again this is another important meeting for any number of reasons: The big ones as usual somehow - most of the time - end up at the bottom of the list. Others are short on details, like Item 5-a for a mobile DHS 6-camera video surveillance system for 'high-profile events and situations'...
_________________________________________________________________________

BLOGGER NOTE: This agenda is all jammed-up. There are at least three items that can easily take over four hours of robust explanation and hearing and interaction with the public.
. . . and that's before there can be any vote taken by members of the Mesa City Council.
 
Will that happen? It's up to you . . .
_________________________________________________________________________
 

Let's direct your focus to three liquor license applications: two food establishments that show some diversity: one for Thai food and one for Latin foods and one for Odyssey Wine Cellars. Surprise,huh?  
Then let's throw a little sunlight on a request for an 'unanticipated' increase in an annual contract for 'supplemental computers, ruggedized laptops and tablets for various city departments'.

Then there are some zoning cases: three of them: an office building, a medical clinic, and an ordinance to resolve a split zoning P&Z case to change interior garage dimensions for a 32.6-acre Woodside Homes development by Baseline Mesa LLC
Then some proposed changes in Airfield Overlays - Item 7-d and Item 7-e.
Does that affect where you live? Did you know about this before now?
_________________________________________________________________________
Then we have THE BIG STUFF AT THE END + A PUBLIC HEARING
SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING
Item 10-b A Resolution This is about GPLETS > Heads Up!
> Authorizing the execution and delivery of an Agreement, Trust Agreement, Continuing Disclosure Certificate, and an Obligation Purchase Contract, and approving an Official Statement
> Approving the sale and execution and delivery of Excise Tax Revenue Obligations evidencing a proportionate interest of the owners thereof, in payments to be made by the City pursuant to the Agreement;
