COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC Meeting Agenda January 5, 2023
DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
In the event that Common Council members who are not members of this committee attend this
meeting, this meeting may also simultaneously constitute a meeting of the Common Council or
any of the following committees: Community and Economic Development, Finance and
Personnel, Judiciary and Legislation, Licenses, Public Safety and Health, Public Works, Zoning,
Neighborhoods & Development, and/or Steering and Rules. Whether a simultaneous meeting is
occurring depends on whether the presence of one or more of the Common Council member
results in a quorum of the Common Council or any of the above committees, and, if there is a
quorum of another committee, whether any agenda items listed above involve matters within that
committee’s realm of authority. In the event that a simultaneous meeting is occurring, no action
other than information gathering will be taken at the simultaneous meeting.
Times for specific agenda items are estimations. If items cannot be heard at their specified times,
they will be heard as soon as practicable thereafter.
