Way too much thrown at the public and City Council and so little time in advance to study it all . . . Maybe they plan it that way, huh?
Tomorrow's study session agenda was made available today - only one day ahead of the "study session".
NOT ENOUGH TIME to seriously devote the time necessary
(1) Community Services
(2) Library Services
(3) Arts & Culture.
Any one of them might individually need an hour of attention at the minimum.
