Notice-of-Public-Hearing Notice-of-Public-Hearing-1 Notice-of-Public-Hearing-2

However, there is no notice online (that I can find) that includes when and where the hearings are or the actual text of the proposed ordinances. It seems they’re only available after the City Council approves them. The only online info is here. I have a call into the City Planning and Review Department to attempt to address these issues. Please post your thoughts in the comment section below.

Without you, this program could not have been such a success. Thank you!

Please order the gift cards you will need through the middle of August by May 25. All cards will be mailed in early June. Summer inventory after this first mailing will be limited until the new school year starts. A special order for Whole Foods, Sprouts, Walmart, Sams, Target etc. will be placed one more time this school year, as well. Please send me your order so that I can make an accurate order to have enough cards for everyone.

Contact Jeanette Timco at 789-7896, 451-0665, or 414-7909. I always have cards with me at school.
