Here’s the Link to this week’s Council Agenda.
A couple of Items that caught my attention:
VOTES FROM THE CITY MANAGER
Vote-Cancel Council Meetings 11/11 and 11/25/14
I understand Canceling the Veterans Day meeting but why the Tuesday before Thanksgiving? Most of us in the private sector work.
Councilor motions:
This one should get John McDonough fired up!
C. Leahy/C. Kennedy – Req. City Mgr. update City Council on report on police vehicles dated July 10, 2013; as well as requesting Supt. of LPD explore possibility of allowing Lowell officers living in the City be able to take cruisers home after shifts.
A Good Idea from Councilor Belanger to help the downtown businesses during the Holidays:C. Belanger – Req. City Council approve a program which would allow two free weekends of parking (November 28 and 29; December 19 and 20) in downtown garages.
