What the Council Will (Not) Talk About Tonight

This consent/non-consent agenda thing is always awkward to talk about. They will likely talk about nothing except these items and any item someone shows up to speak for or against. Even then, they usually vote and move on.

Please note that exclusions on this listing may change at the meeting. Items may be added or taken off the list when the consent agenda is presented.

Agenda Items #4 through #12 are PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS.

Note: 3. Legislative File No. 25454 – Congratulating UW student radio station, WSUM 97.1 FM, on their Tenth Anniversary. (Editorial Changes: title originally read “91.7”, changed to “97.1” and body referenced February 2, changed to February 22).

Items that are part of Consent Agenda but with additional recommendations as noted:
