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.

Please Note that there are final agendas available ahead of time - usually 24 hours. However there are no attachments that have been provided for documents or links to any presentations that might have been prepared.
Perhaps that was due to an urgency, so it's an opportunity to find out what talking points either the mayor or the six councilmembers want to get across, as well as the focus chosen for:
(1) Public Safety and (2) Community Resources
