Jammed-Up Tenative Agenda For Mesa City Council Meeting 15 Jan 2019

Pardon your MesaZona blogger for the muffled screams when there's a 17-page agenda made public and printed 04.04.2019 for this public hearing that skips over what's on two meeting details "not yet available" for two study sessions ahead of time.
One of April 11th and another study session on the schedule just before the regular City Council meeting the same day.
Plenty of time for the dis-engaged public here to study any or all of the 66 items in the meeting's long list of details.
Who knows how-to-study these or even cares?
Here's a link farther down to the hard work ahead:
Where to start? Take a look at all it!
Aside from the mayor, there are six Mesa City members who earn their salaries representing the interests of their constituents - the people who live in  their districts.
Each councilmember has a paid staff assistant that does work assigned to them by each councilmember. Please ask your councilmember to assign tasks to their assistants for information you need to get informed and to study these issues and items that will either get individual attention, or none at all unless you ask. Otherwise they'll just slide-by you before you know it
_________________________________________________________________________
You might want to skip over 5 Liquor License Applications in Item 3 and get right into [count them up]
Item 4 CONTRACTS. There are 22 in that Item and + 3 more huge contracts in Item 5.
Then a slew of RESOLUTIONS - 25 in Item 6
Then more RESOLUTIONS [don't snooze at this point] added to and running on from
Item 6-z to 6-aa, 6-ab, 6-ac and 6-ad
Then ORDINANCES:
4 in Item 7
2 in Item 8
