FYI: July 17 meeting is a first reading, not public hearing

The July 17 City Council meeting is not a public hearing, but simply a first reading. The public will not be allowed to speak. The public will be allowed to speak before the Aug. 7 second hearing (if there is one).

Comments

How does it work Aaron. I know that 99% of the time the Council proceeds from first reading to second reading at a subsequent meeting.

What is the process by which Council would pull the plug on the process on July 17?
