City Manager Chris Brady > 2-Hour Mesa City Council Study Session Thu 26 March 2020 @ 07:30 AM

Hizzoner John Giles has figured out how-to-use his Split-Screen! 

Note that some new rules for opportunities for the public to participate in their government have been put in place requiring access to a video teleconferencing platform - the City Council Chambers are closed.

MULTI-SCREEN SIMULTANEOUS > Mesa City Council Meetings In Another Dimension

Practicing "social isolation" provides a new perspective for citizens and the public to get close-up and personal at-a-safe-distance with those elected to serve in city government. . . It is indeed an eye-opener.
"Emergency" or not - in two study sessions - the new video teleconference format opens more windows on the individuals elected.

Comments must be submitted online and you must indicate if you want to speak during the meeting using a live hook-up.
