TODAY MON 08.31.2020: Remote Virtual Platform Mesa City Council Meetings (2)

The last of six meetings from this group of seven for the month of August and what a month it's been!
OK
that's only if you have been activated, informed and engaged in what your elected city government is doing . . .
QUESTION: DO YOU KNOW OR CARE?
That is a problem here in Mesa when just about only 35% of eligible voters turned out to cast ballots in the August 4 Primary Election.

City Council Meetings and Study Sessions Notice

To decrease COVID-19 exposure, the City Council Chambers is closed, but public participation and viewing will be available electronically. 

Mesa operates under a charter form of government with citizens electing a mayor and six councilmembers to set policy for the City.
Mesa's councilmembers serve terms of four-years, with three members being elected every two years. The mayor is elected at-large every four years. The mayor and council are elected on a non-partisan basis. The vice mayor is selected by the City Council.
The Mesa City Council believes that its people, not leaders, are what makes a City great and actively works to encourage citizen participation in the decision-making process.
Whether it is through neighborhood meetings, advisory boards and committees, telephone calls and letters, or email,
REPEAT THAT >
The Mesa City Council sets policies based on the input and the needs of its citizens.
