STAGGERING AGENDA: Mesa City Council Meeting Mon 15 Oct 2018

There are 40 items on the agenda for Monday's regular meeting of the Mesa City Council - all kinds of things are jammed-up for this public meeting that few members of the public even take the time to get informed or know about.
There was a  70-minute Study Session held last Thursday October 11th to discuss and cover only some of these items. Few members of the public attended the 07:30 meeting. Few took the time to watch and listen to streaming videos that were uploaded to Mesa Channel or to YouTube.
An engaged public is necessary if we are to have an effective government here in Mesa. Your MesaZona blogger is dedicated to doing his part TO INFORM YOU.
