There is a lot to do this month! Please see the list of meeting dates and “to do’s” below.  Share this with anyone that is looking for more information. 

IMPORTANT DATES:

April 22 at 1 pm, City Hall, Room 300

Equitable Growth & Housing Committee Meeting

*** THIS MAY BE THE LAST VOTE! ***

This is the earliest possible date for the Equitable Growth & Housing Committee to vote on the Hyde Park Square development. 

We need 5 votes AGAINST the development (assuming 9 members attend). If they do, the development does NOT go to full council. THIS IS A WIN!

You can speak at this meeting (2 minutes maximum).

IF the Committee votes FOR the development, it goes to full City Council the very next day. This will happen on Wednesday, April 23 at 2 pm, City Hall, Room 300.

We need to SHOW UP IN FORCE AT BOTH. 

We’ll let you know if/when these dates become final.

Please read: We MUST be SILENT and RESPECTFUL during these City Council meetings. If we are not respectful, this WILL work against us.
