The Final Agenda (inserted farther down) was printed on Thu 10.01 preceded on page one with the now not-unusual Notice using a safeguard to decrease exposure to the air-borne COVID-19 contagion to close-down City Council Chambers to the public - and the elected seven members - at the same time allowing salaried city officials like the city manager and city attorney to sit closely side-by-side almost next to each other plus three other city officials on the other side of the tables seated together in close proximity. In addition if there are presentations to be made (or back-up people who might be needed to answer potential questions) they are permitted in-person inside The Lower Chambers rather than from a remote location at home or at a work station.
For an example, you can watch all that in the VOD from Mesa Channel 11 http://mesa11.com/vod/?show=1945&Mode2=Video or
streaming on YouTube > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x87cTTfoVV8
BLOGGER NOTE: It's all very confusing with Hizzoner wondering what items are being discussed or talked about + a whole parade of people - with or without masks - called on to talk.
Here's the agenda for last Thursday's study session if you want to try to follow along:
