MEETING DETAILS > Mesa City City Council Mon 24 Feb 2020

40 Items with links and attachments - all of them have been inserted in this post for your review ahead of time  (the second time).
After a very brief 11-minute Study Session last Thursday where some items were asked to be removed from the Consent Agenda for good reasons, there's a Study Session scheduled to take place in the Lower Chambers before the regular meeting - one more opportunity for the public or any councilmember to ask for more information or to make any comments to get heard and discussed.
There are important zoning and annexation items on over 1100 acres of land as well as others that deserve attention.
Contract Awards start at Item 5
Resolutions 6-b and 6-c certainly deserve very close attention in detail

Item 6-d is unusual agreement and an example of a private foundation that makes to make a $175,000 donation to the publicly-funded Mesa Police Department.
The Hickey Family Foundation might have undisclosed ownership holdings in some of the manufacturers who get
awarded contracts to supply communications equipment.
_________________________________________________________________________
BLOGGER NOTE: Millions of dollars for developers and real estate interests are riding on the votes that might take place if the City Council chooses to approve certain items.
The Hawes Interchange Project is the biggest. It's been years in-the-works.
When a proposed project that big is placed on the agenda with so many other important items, any reasonable person might ask why city officials have chosen to cram the agenda all on the same day
