Upcoming May 11 Meeting. You should definitely read the packet and watch the meeting.

And a review of last week’s very important meeting:

  • Ferry Pilot v2. Fun for the family. And for $900 grand it oughta be!
  • Drug Ordinance postponed. Hopefully the State comes through.
  • Housing Action Plan Presentation. The good, the bad, and the people we didn’t hear from.

Plus a new program to help with business vandalism and an update on some important state legislation on airport pollution monitoring.

April 13 Meeting had something for everyone, including

  • Drones, not Fireworks
  • Zoning along 216th and Central Des Moines
  • The Citizens Advisory Committee
  • The Marina Steps
  • Bonds for Marina stuff
  • Redondo Fishing Pier
  • Your taxes?

You should definitely read the packet, watch the meeting. The follow-up questions I’ve received make it clear that people are not understanding what is going on.
