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."
