Mesa City Council Meetings [2] Mon 07 Jan 2019

Monday's meetings were the last for the present composition of the seven-member Mesa City Council - District 4 Councilmember Chris has been termed-out after occupying a seat for the past eight years. Mayor John Giles referred to that 8-year time span as marking 'the end of an era'. 
Tomorrow will see the swearing-in of one new woman to join the all-male cast - Jennifer Duff who barely eked-out a victory in the November 2018 General Election over Chris Glover's second cousin [endorsed by both him and D2 Councilmember Mark Freeman] by less than 300 votes.
Glover has registered a political action committee with the Mesa's City Clerk's office to run for mayor in 2020.

Agendas for both of Monday's meetings were posted earlier on this blog. Per usual some items that deserve individual attention were passed over and left on the Consent Agenda that was read-out by Kevin Christopher, while 3 items were requested to get removed by submitting blue cards.
