We have a busy week ahead at the City. Some really interesting things too. First of all, here is a link to the draft minutes from recent city meetings. These are a fantastic way to see what has been going on in the city. Draft Board Minutes for Council Meeting on January 6, 2020
Here are the meetings for this coming week:
--------------------------------------------
Monday, January 6, 2020
--------------------------------------------
6:00 PM - City Council Briefing Session
Council Conference Room, City Hall
Agenda: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/document-uploads-001/uploads/video/agenda_file/39282/1-6-2020_City_Council_Briefing_Agenda.pdf
This meeting is open to the public, so please feel free to attend. We will be discussing items on the 7:00 PM agenda in an informal setting. Residents are not allowed to speak during the briefing but there is a public comments section at the actual meeting. This meeting will not be live-streamed.
=================================================
7:00 PM - City Council Regular Meeting
Council Chamber, City Hall
Agenda Packet: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/document-uploads-001/uploads/video/agenda_file/39283/1-6-2020_City_Council_Agenda_Packet.pdf
Some items of note are:
12 - Consider request for a detailed Site Plan review for apartments located at the SW corner of Northgate Dr at Stadium Dr. - due to this item NOT being a public hearing, anyone wishing to speak to this, must do so at the public comments at the beginning of the meeting.
** 21 - Reconvene from Executive Session (due to having consultation with City Atty)**
a. Take any possible action by City Council to initiate a zoning change under Section 2.04 and 7.03 of the Zoning ordinance, and consider calling public hearing to consider revocation of a Specific Use permit held by Oak Cliff Metals
b. Take any necessary action
*** This is a big deal. Finding that balance between government intervention and business rights is a very big thing. There should be a lot of information presented to the Council, most likely at the briefing that evening, and we will consider all input before rendering a decision.***
Anyone wishing to speak to this will need to speak during the public comments section at the beginning of the meeting OR wait until a public hearing, if that is the action taken by Council. I welcome all to give me feedback on your thoughts on this subject.
