REMOTE ZOOM Talking Heads + Death-By-PowerPoint-Slides Presentations > Mesa City Council Study Session Thu @ 07:30 am 03.25.2021

Transmitted from The Lower Chambers with salaried city officials - some masked-up and some not - seated in close proximity while Hizzoner John Giles presides over the study session with a virtual background that looks like 'Saguaro Land' 5 other district Council representatives look like they're WFH (Working From Home)and/or their "home-offices" and District 6 Councilmember Kevin Thompson who represents Southeast Mesa uses a virtual background of an aerial view of Downtown Mesa.

There are 3 Slide Presentations: here are the meeting details and attachments for your interest . . you can study them ahead of time if you haven't already had a chance to preview them. You might want to notice what is said by each person and what is discussed and what direction is provided or not as the case might be... There are two City Council members who did notice that there was a mistake in one of the slide shows.

BTW: There are new Tentative Agendas for next month - April 5th (Test files only?) and April 10th where the action will take place in The Upper Chambers
