Abandon

Voted to look for a way out of the building, and nothing on the record suggests a break with that course.

On the fence

Movable. This is where an email and three minutes at the podium matter most.

When they meet

The meetings with an open microphone are on the front page. This is the rest of the picture: everything coming up, and the meetings where the record so far was made. Each links to its entry in Legistar, the council's own records system, where the entries exist.

Checked against the city's public calendar on August 3, 2026. Agendas move, meetings get cancelled, and items get deferred — confirm on Legistar before you drive down there. Where it says “check agenda,” I could not confirm from the council's written rules whether the public gets to speak at that meeting type. I'd rather say so than guess.

Three sentences is enough

Every email link above opens a message with the subject line already filled in. What moves a council office isn't polish — it's a constituent, by name, from their own district, saying what they want.

  1. Find your member. Look up your district if you don't know it, then use their card above. Your own member's office weighs your email more than anyone else's — that's what "represents you" means.
  2. Say who you are. Your name, your neighborhood, and that you live in their district. That's the part that makes it count.
  3. Say what you want, in your own words. Identical form letters get tallied; personal ones get read. Two or three sentences — repair the building the city already owns, and publish honest costs for every option before deciding — is enough.

Positions on this page are drawn from the council record and from public statements. If something here is wrong, I'll correct it in public — how this site handles that, and where the portraits come from.
