City Council Essay

Attending the last City Council meeting in University City reminded how petty and vile people can be. Implored to attend by a couple of well-heeled politicians, a not-so-representative group of U City residents took turns attacking our mayor, Shelley Welsch. It would be good to remember that Mayor Welsch ran virtually unchallenged in her bid for a second-term as Mayor. During her previous bid for mayor she defeated Councilman Crow. In a recent Post article, distinctions between human error

The experience going to the council meeting was great and I would imagine that the items on the agenda had a great deal to do with that. The topics I found the most interesting revolved around public nudity, serving alcohol in public, spending grant money, a gun ordinance, and polling the public about being taxed. The agenda item revolving around public nudity took up most of the time. Currently, Eureka doesn't have a ordinance in place to give police authority to arrest citizens who are nude in

On Monday, April 13th, 2009, I visited the Culver City city council meeting, and found that they operate using a council-manager form of government. For a city with a population of about 38,000, this type of governmental structure is fairly common, and I was not surprised to see it in action in a community where the median household income is around $56,000 a year. Culver City is also a culturally rich community with a 60 percent Caucasian population, and a quarter of the residents are either of

“Councils ensure a unique capability to work from a “place-based” viewpoint, holistically observing issues, recognising gaps and countering from a comprehensive certified base. Local government is also a powerful advocate on youth issues to other levels of government. The responsibility of local government is youth engagement, as the government “closest to the people”. It has a role in local democratic participation and providing access to active citizenship”. (Alivizatos & Carson, 2016) Althaus

Tuesday’s regularly scheduled City Council meeting had a long list of business to cover, but many of those items fell under the consent portion of the agenda. All items were approved, with the forthcoming amendment of the May 9 City Council’s minutes, pointed out by Blythe resident, Leslie Jessop-Watkins. Nonetheless, those items approved included the second reading of the Cannabis Ordinance, No. 883-17, the FY 2017-18 resolution, a request for firework display by the Blythe Volunteer Fire Department

The meeting that I attended was at Lodi City Council. The city council meeting was very interesting. It was held on February 17, 2016 at 305 West Pine Street, Lodi. During the meeting they talked about many things like authorizing the Mayor, on Behalf of the City Council, to send a Letter of Opposition for SB, and Complaints with dealing with wasting water. But in my opinion the main topic that they talked about that caused a buzz was the Public Hearing to Consider the Appeal of Bella Terra Plaza

What exactly goes on in your local city council meeting? On October 22nd, I visited the Moraine City Council, located in the Moraine Municipal Court Building, to find out. The meeting started at 6 p.m. and lasted about thirty minutes and they are held the second and fourth Thursday of every month. The agenda, which was found at the entrance of the meeting room, listed all the topics that would be covered. In this essay, I will cover the people in attendance/process, the items discussed, and what

Threatened with a lawsuit that claims their current electoral system discriminates against Latino voters, the Glendale City Council, the Glendale Community College District Board (GCCD), and the Glendale Unified School District (GUSD) have considered introducing measures that would replace the city’s at-large voting system with council districts. Attorney Kevin Shenkman sent a letter to the City, the GCCD, and GUSD threatening to file a lawsuit, asserting that the election system of the three bodies violates

The process of the City Council meeting was very interesting and long. There were many things that I learned in this meeting because it was the first meeting that I have been to for the city. Everything was planned and very organized in the meeting and they go down a schedule or list of what they will do first. The Mayor of the city of Bakersfield is the one to begin the meeting, but he was absent the day that I went so Vice Mayor Harold Hanson took his spot. He mentioned how the Mayor had not missed

through attending official meeting of organization or writing letters to officail with your own personal feelings. Last year, I simply attended a city council meeting, where I was lucky enough to be present to witness the Fort Bragg city council cower at the idea of President Trump coming down on them if they decided to make Fort Bragg a sanctuary city, a place where illegal immigrants could reside. It was easily one of most influential moments in my past year, watching the impact of fear influence
