HOW THE WEEK AHEAD WORKS/GET MORE INFORMATION

What is listed here

All the meetings and agendas that are posted at the time of publishing this blog post are here.  I noted the items I think people will be interested in or are not routine items, you may want to click on the links to the agendas to make sure I didn’t miss anything. I generally list routine reports as “Reports” even when there are a dozen or more reports, especially if nothing is attached in legistar. These are the meetings that were posted at close of business on Friday in legistar and may change throughout the week. I do my best to update through Mo’ Meetings on the home page throughout the week if I’m aware of changes. If you think I missed anything, please don’t hesitate to let me know at forwardlookout@gmail.com. Here is the guide to how I put the city week ahead together.

Listen on WORT

For highlights of the most interesting or popular items, listen to WORT FM live on Monday at 6:00 on their Local News Segment or listen to WORT Local News – Monday in the archives.

Timely news and meeting updates

For those of you who are weekly readers of “The Week Ahead” you may also be interested in checking out the home page that aggregates (round ups) the local news multiple times a day instead of waiting for daily “round up” post. This also has the Mo’ Meetings that used to be their own post.  To submit government related press releases or let me know about any errors, email at forwardlookout@gmail.com
