Meetings of Interest in the Week Ahead

During the dog days of summer, meetings are likely to be canceled for any number of reasons but most commonly for want of a quorum. This week, there are only three meetings scheduled, and they all fall on the same day: Wednesday, August 1.

• At 3:00 p.m., the mayor will hold a public hearing on Proposed Law No. 4 for 2018. The law would require owners of vacant buildings to register those buildings and pay an annual fee for each year a building stands empty. The hearing takes place in the Council Chamber at City Hall.

• At 5:30 p.m., the Common Council Youth, Education, Seniors, and Recreation Committee meets at City Hall. At this meeting, youth director Nick Zachos and Sher Stevens, who directs programming at the Senior Center, typically report to the committee. Beyond this, no agenda is available for the meeting.
• At 6:45 p.m., the Common Council Housing and Transportation Committee is scheduled to meet at City Hall. This committee has not met since its chair, Tiffany Garriga (Second Ward), broke her ankle in late May. There is the possibility the meeting for August 1 will be cancelled as well.
