WEEK-END READING: Tentative Agenda For Mesa City Council Regular Meeting June 15, 2020

It's never too late - or too early - to stay up to date and informed about what your elected city government has put on the agenda with the meeting details. 
Oftentimes it's "a juggling act" when so many things just happen to be thrown up-in-the-air 
all at the same time.
_________________________________________________________________

It certainly doesn't look reasonable that random circumstances somehow arranged to get a long-simmering controversial real estate development at Thomas & Recker Roads on the agenda for approval - just by chance or circumstance might not be the case as you can probably surmise on that "deal". 
Item *5-a SPECIAL BOND ELECTION
Item  8-a PUBLIC HEARING

If you want to provide a written comment or speak telephonically at the meeting, please submit an online comment card by going to Mesaaz.gov/bluecard at least 1 hour prior to the start of the meeting. If you want to speak at the meeting, you will need to indicate on the comment card that you would like to speak during the meeting, and you will need to call 888-788-0099 or 877-853-5247 (toll free) using meeting ID 5301232921 and following the prompts, prior to the start of the meeting. You will be able to listen to the meeting; and when the item you have indicated that you want to speak on is before Council, your line will be taken off mute and you will be given an opportunity to speak.
