Council Study Session - 4/28/2022

The 07:30 a.m. early morning session last Thursday in The Lower Chambers went on and on for more than two hours, with District 2 Councilmember  Julie Spilsbury absent and excused since she's traveling.
Presiding officer Hizzoner John Giles asks some open-ended questions then throws over control to City Manager Chris Brady, not even asking if there's any public input or participation. 
PLEASE NOTE: Items from Citizens is always the last item on the Consent Agenda: Item 8
That's "par-for-the-course" to continue with the business of government proceeding per usual -- calling in a cast of city officials to make their Power-Point presentations on two items: Item 4-a and Item 4-f.
First up is Deputy City Manager Marc Hirschberger, former head of Parks & Recreation and Community Facilities making the case for dollar-amount increases in city contracts, using a phrase it's "Back to the Future" for him. . .
