BIG AGENDAS for 2 Mesa City Council Meetings Mon 02 Dec 2019

Get Ready > Ready to read and study for this first council meeting in the last month of the entire calendar year for 2019.
These are the only public City Council meetings for this week.
The last City Council public meetings are on December 12th.
So (like they say) Plan accordingly, and either choose to do nothing at all, or get informed and involved in what your elected city government is doing.
Otherwise don't complain. It does take time and effort to find out what's on these agendas.
Many of you DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO IS YOUR DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE on the City Council. How can you let councilmembers represent your interests - give them a call or meet them in-person... it's their job to serve the public interests. You pay them to do that.
