WHOA! Is it "The Brady Bunch" in Control of Yesterday's Mesa Council Study Session?? Thu 01.21.2021

Sure looks like it once again with the same old made-for-public consumption scripted Power Point Slides and 'eating-their own-dog-food' at the City Manager's Trough. - where 's never any independent or objective analysis of what is presented . . .
starts with Jeff McVay Item *4-j for making the case to hire a Contract Manager At Risk for the long-delayed proposed work on the old post office that at one time was supposed to be The Mesa History Museum.  
Then Item *5-a with a back-story
Then Item *5-b

REMOTE ZOOM Mesa City Council Study Session Thu 01.21.2021 @ 07:30 a.m.
The Final Agenda was printed yesterday 01.19.2021 (there's no longer a time-stamp for what time-of-the-day that was) effectively allowing only two days ahead of the early morning session that starts at 07:30 a.m. streamed from The Lower Chambers where salaried city officials are seated with masks before they talk while "Mr.Mayor" John Giles and the six Council District reps get live-streamed from their remote locations.
All citizens are permitted and encouraged to speak on agenda items including and preceding “Items from citizens present."
