The city council meeting last night was packed. Every seat was full and people were lined up all around the sides and the back of the room. Almost everyone had a paper sign that read “McEuen Park PUBLIC VOTE”, and after every speaker was done with their 5 min. testimony, the crowd silently held up their signs. It was great. 13 people spoke to the council. I was last person to speak and I asked everyone who was in favor of a public vote to stand up…the whole room seemed to be on their feet. Most folks also held up their signs. it was a clear message to the council.
But NOT ONE city council member made a motion to put the subject of a public vote on the next city council agenda. They all chickened out. Even Ron.
If you are interested in the McEuen plan, and want to know more, the city council is meeting with the Steering Committee, for the first time they say, tomorrow morning THURSDAY, May 3rd at 7:30 am at the meeting room in the ParkSide Tower. I think that room is on the 3rd floor. The public is allowed to come to this meeting but will not be able to speak.
Why isn’t this meeting going to take place in the Library community room, so it can be on TV channel 19?
