City Council Sneak Peak

Tomorrow evening’s City Council Meeting has a few items on the agenda that may be of interest to you:

The Council will hear the final reading of the ordinance to adopt Planning Commission recommendations on the large-scale retail moratorium.  As it reads now:

Ordinance No. 28027 Adopting findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission to justify modification and retention of the emergency moratorium, adopted by Ordinance No. 28014, on the acceptance of applications for new building or other development permits associated with the establishment, location, or permitting of large retail establishments with a floor area greater than 65,000 square feet within the City.

Public hearings are also scheduled this week for the following:

*The proposed Ad Valorem (property) tax levies and other General Fund revenues.

*The recommended revisions to the councilmanic district boundaries following the decennial census.

And if you’re curious about the City’s budget woes, this week’s study session will feature a discussion of the budget gap, and potential strategies for coping.

    It’s really true. School kids who flee Tacoma’s Drop-out Factories are entitled to jobs as City scribes.
