| Mesa City Council |
. . . and why, readers of this blog might ask, are these meetings - where few members of the public ever show up or involved - mostly dull?
This is the first meeting after the results of the November General Election were made official. The calendar year ends at the end of December.
Things are getting "wrapped-up". . . Contracts awarded.
There are no other meetings after December 13th this year. _________________________________________________________________________
The two-hour video is inserted after you can take a look at the 27-item agenda that's up for consideration and discussion on December 3, 2018.
