Planning & Development: The Normal Process From Scratch-to-Finish + Points-in-Between

Internal and external. The crossing-point when government decides to do or not to do something.

The featured example today is for the Study Session and Public Hearing to be conducted by the City's Planning & Zoning Board - a "refresher" presentation to remind the members about the Open Meeting Laws and Conflict of Interest presented by Assistant City Attorney Charlotte McDermott

By the time "something" reaches the Mesa

City Council there's a step-by-step process in place in a framework of prescripted time. That's the way it's supposed to work fast-tracked or not . . .

In the course of human events involving city staff employees and public citizen volunteers appointed to serve on various boards and committees - those actions are all internal. Likewise, they are a matter of public record and a subject for review, reaction and response. Those actions - if any - are external.

Here's an example of what the Planning & Zoning Board has on the agenda today: a study session and a Public Hearing:
