This is very, very frustrating, not being able to access the agendas this morning . . .

9:00 AM SUSTAINABLE DESIGN AND ENERGY COMMITTEE PRIVATE SECTOR WORK GROUP CONFERENCE CALL ROOM 107A CCB
– Once again, no freaking agenda. Seriously, this is about the third time!
4:00 PM PERSONNEL BOARD ROOM 501 CCB
– Special meeting to discuss new personnel rules.
4:30 PM BOARD OF ESTIMATES ROOM 260 MMB
– Raises in the Mayor’s office and changes to structure of CDBG office
– Text messaging cost too much and they need to allocate more money
– City giving money for the staff of the Catholic Multicultural Center
– Changes to CDBG lending practices, city no longer would get money back when lending money
– Impacts of state budget
– Local stimulus impacts
4:45 PM LANDMARKS COMMISSION ROOM LL-130 MMB
– The Majestic fees exemption
– Increased penalties
5:15 PM MADISON BOARD OF POLICE AND FIRE COMMISSIONERS MADISON PUBLIC LIBRARY, 201 W MIFFLIN
– There is no agenda listed, which I believe must make their meeting illegal.
6:30 PM COMMON COUNCIL PRESENTATION ON CENTRAL LIBRARY PROPOSAL ROOM 260 MMB
– Mayor will present his visions, then the library board members, a little primer on the future of libraries and they are only talking about one choice, the Fiore proposal, the idea of rehabbing the current library is not on the agenda. Hopefully they televise this because it is right after the Board of Estimates meeting.

4:30 PM MADISON ELECTION ADVISORY COMMITTEE ROOM 103 CCB

5:00 PM AFFIRMATIVE ACTION COMMISSION ROOM LL-120 MMB
– Should Affirmative Action Commission and Equal Opportunities Commission be able to introduce their own items without a Aldermanic or Mayoral sponsor?
5:00 PM PUBLIC SAFETY REVIEW COMMITTEE ROOM 525 CCB

Wednesday, July 15, 2009

– Interesting, I’d love to hear the Mayor’s budget announcement
10:30 AM MINORITY AFFAIRS COMMITTEE (MAC) ROOM LL-130 MMB

– Committees and appointments (gender, disability and race)
5:30 PM BOARD OF EDUCATION – COMMON COUNCIL LIAISON COMMITTEE ROOM 103A CCB

5:35 PM COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMITTEE WATER UTILITY OFFICES, 119 E OLIN AVE

Thursday, July 16, 2009
4:00 PM HOUSING DIVERSITY PLANNING AD HOC COMMITTEE ROOM 260 MMB
Worst agenda ever. After they elect a chair, they will discuss “Explanation of Informational Materials Distributed” – materials of course, not available to the public. WTF?
5:00 PM COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT COMMITTEE WARNER PARK COMMUNITY RECREATION CENTER, 1625 NORTHPORT DR
– Security cameras for homeless shelter
– HPRP (eviction prevention and rent assistance funding)
– Other stimulus money decisions
5:30 PM DOWNTOWN COORDINATING COMMITTEE ROOM 108 CCB
– Hotel study discussion (study not available linked to the agenda)
I probably shouldn’t have thanked the staff for fixing the legistar system so early in the morning, took much longer today . . . so that is why some agendas don’t have links to the items and this post was done a little hastily.
