Looking For The Best Price @ 40-Minute Mesa City Council Study Session Thu 05.03.2020

Both Hizzoner John Giles and City Manager Chris Brady were  sporting casual short-sleeved shirts emblazoned with logos . . . if that's promoting something IDK.
That's not their usual dress code.
See for yourself in this 40-minute upload.
Clearly, City Manager Chris Brady has plans beyond this first pilot to hand-off proposed city-owned land sales to "a third-party" interest for reasons (or terms and conditions) that are not stated - it might be an attempt at trying to remove any possible favorable treatment for prospective buyers that could be controversial if held up to more public scrutiny.
