KNOCK-KNOCK: This is a call for MORE CITIZEN PARTICIPATION for Tomorrow's Mesa City Council Meetings Starting @ 5:30 PM

Review and discuss items on the agenda for the April 20, 2020 regular Council meeting.
That all starts by accessing and knowing what is on the agenda - more than 45 records to take a look at and depending on your perspectives, some are more important than others if and when they impact you, the neighborhood or district you live, or the entire city in general.
There's a lot on-the-line 
It's up to you to get informed and connect the dots - that's the hard part and it does take a lot of time

. . . and please keep in mind that when anyone says what they believe  may be only a ploy to convince you it's true
