Berkeley City Meetings with Agenda Highlights

Saturday July 14, 2018 - 03:30:00 PM

Worth Noting:

As is often the case, community, board and commission meetings with interesting agendas are scheduled at the same time, very few are recorded and meeting minutes are sketchy at best.

Monday – the Homeless Commission has a site visit subcommittee meeting a 6:30 pm.

Tuesday – Landmarks subcommittee meets in the morning 10:30 on the Shellmound project. In the evening is the 3rd Caring for Our Community on the homeless while at the same time City Council will be hearing at the work session about the differences in health outcomes by race and location (the council meeting should be video recorded).

Wednesday – The Commission on Labor will hear from Attorney Michael Grossman on ICE while the Planning Commission sits through a scoping session on the Environmental Impact Report for the Adeline Corridor.

Thursday – the agenda is not published yet for the Joint Subcommittee on Implementation of Housing Law



The agenda for the last City Council meeting (July 24) before summer recess is unbelievably long and available for comment (it is best to comment early if you want your email read council@cityofberkeley.info). At the Council Agenda Committee it was announced that there would be a Council meeting on Urban Shield on July 23, but that is not yet posted in the index.
