UP #317 Roosevelt Neighborhood Rezone
As I mentioned in UP 317, as of Monday night (and this morning) the agenda for tomorrow’s COBE meeting, was not yet available for public review. Our Council rules state that: "All reasonable effort will be made to provide the preliminary agenda online and in hard copy at least two business days prior to the meeting."
