This Planning & Zoning Commission meeting followed the Open Public Hearing that was suddenly cancelled that night. Parts A and B are each about 30 minutes long. Part C is about 8 minutes long. Commission meetings of citizen-appointed meetings are not recorded, (re)broadcast or streamed. The official minutes are not complete. Agendas and packets are not posted. Citizens deeply concerned about transparency and accountability are now filming and sharing unfiltered recordings of many meetings, especially the most powerful one, P&Z. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
