Arts & Events

Worth Noting:

A very full week

• Tuesday: The Agenda and Rules Committee meets at 2:30 pm to finalize the Council agenda for January 31. At 6 pm the City Council meets. Item-19 is the status report on pension liabilities and infrastructure. Item-21 changes affordable housing requirements. The move is to calculate the in lieu fee by sq ft instead of the number of units. The in lieu fee of $45/sq ft is paid by the builder to get out of including the affordable units in the building, the units we desperately need.
• Wednesday: City Council meets at 4 pm to adopt the Housing Element for 2023 – 2031. Also, on Wednesday the Commission on Aging takes up the Hopkins Corridor at 1:30 pm and the Commission on Disability has called a special at 3 pm on the Hopkins Corridor. The Civic Arts Commission, Commission on the Status of Women and the Environment and Climate Commission all meet at 6 pm. The Human Welfare and Community Action Commission meets at 6:30 pm.
