July 26, 2006 GAC Update
The full City Council will not meet again until August 7 but some Committees will meet during July. The Ordinance Committee is meeting tonight to conduct a public hearing regarding proposed changes to the Zoning Code for Criteria for Approval of Special Permit when non-residential buildings are converted to residential use.
I am scheduling GAC events for the fall. The first meeting will be on September 26 and I would like to make this a working meeting to discuss members’ ideas for the Committee for the next couple of years. I have provided a draft agenda below.
Upcoming GAC Events
The 2006 Government Affairs program is sponsored by Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research.
The GAC will meet on Tuesday September 26, 2006 at noon in the Chamber Board Room. The topic will be a discussion among those GAC members about the direction of this committee for the next couple of years. A draft agenda is provided below:
