It's almost always thrilling and exciting to watch and listen to John Giles conducting all-too-brief so-called "Study Sessions" for the agenda items of upcoming  meetings. Jivin' John Giles somehow manages to blow-through in less than five minutes at a public meeting the entire 33-item Agenda for next week's City Council meeting on 27 August 2018.

IT'S AN IMPORTANT MEETING three days from today.
