FROM THE LOWER CHAMBERS > Mesa City Council Study Session Thu 06.17.2021

It looks from all appearances just like another "Casual Tuesday" inside the Council Chambers - and what
outside Excessive High Temperatures in a series of record-breaking heat and High Ozone  Pollution Alerts and Warnings and Toxic Levels of Smoke in the skies from Wild Forest Fires > first-hand evidence of Climate Change with a Decades-Old Drought that's been ignored for too long, but it's "business-as-usual" and closed off to the public but you can watch it
About 15 minutes short of two hours with half the time for today's agenda and half for Monday's agenda
THURSDAY: 2 PRESENTATIONS
1. A Climate Action Plan that is sketchy to say the least; basically "Kicking-the-Can" down the road until some time later
2. A Major Development Proposal from 2016 for a
"Smart Growth Community" Proposal is going nowhere > Jeff McVay and Kusi Appiah
