Don't Miss This: 1st Meeting 2019 for Mesa City Council Study Session Thu 03 Jan

Time to do some homework in-advance for the thousands of members of the public who have a bad habit of not getting involved or engaged as citizens in our elected government.
It starts early at 07:30 am.
To put it bluntly, your elected city government is not effective unless you first of all choose to turn to a new direction for the majority of apathetic/don't-care residents who live here in Mesa to get involved in your government - nobody promised it's easy.
Honestly it's time-consuming to get informed. That's the first step. Step lively!
If you don't know where to start, FIND OUT.
If you don't know what district you live in, or who represents you on the Mesa City Council, FIND OUT and contact them before these public meetings start.
