Wednesday – The Homeless Commission at 7 pm is discussing a proposal for a residential vacancy tax. The Parks and Waterfront commission agenda includes refuse pick-up at the parks and fitness courts.

Thursday – The Budget process for FY2022 is starting at the Budget and Finance committee at 10 am. Thursday evening the Open Government Commission will consider the Brown Act complaint related to land use proceedings. The Transportation Commission at 7 pm will establish a subcommittee on access/parking at the BART stations – after housing is built at the BART stations there won’t be big parking lots anymore and a plan needs to be developed for how people who used to drive and park at BART will get to and from the stations in the future. Access/parking is not part of the BART CAG (Community Advisory Group) work.

The City Council April 20 regular meeting agenda is available for comment and follows the list of meetings.

If you have a meeting you would like included in the summary of meetings, please send a notice to kellyhammargren@gmail.com by noon on the Friday of the preceding week.
