Meetings of Interest in the Week Ahead

Tonight, which promises to be very pleasant, is an evening off for meeting goers. The fun begins tomorrow.

• On Tuesday, August 21, the Common Council Finance Committee meets at 5:30 p.m. and the formal Common Council meeting begins at 7 p.m. Despite the fact that at the informal Council meeting last week, Council president Tom DePietro maintained that the formal meeting of the Council had to take place at City Hall and admonished the mayor when he suggested otherwise, "Read your code," both meetings will take place not at City Hall but at 1 North Front Street.
• Also on Tuesday, August 21, there's a followup event after the Common Council meeting. Rebecca Wolff announced on Facebook over the weekend a "Common Council After-party" at the Half Moon. The invitation to the event reads in part: "The meeting is at 7 p.m. at the Chamber of Commerce. The After-party starts after the meeting. If you can't make it to the meeting just come to the After-party and we'll fill you in. 'No surprises for After-partiers' is our motto. Live no longer in the dark on municipal life. Civic engagement is a stealth weapon. THIS WILL HAPPEN EVERY MONTH."
• On Wednesday, August 22, there is only one meeting. The Hudson IDA (Industrial Development Agency) is scheduled to meet at 1 p.m. at 1 North Front Street "for the purpose of discussing any matters that may be presented to the Agency for consideration." That's a pretty open-ended agenda. The Common Council Legal Committee meeting, which was scheduled for 6:15 p.m. on Wednesday, has been canceled.

• On Thursday, August 23, the Common Council Economic Development Committee meets at 6 p.m. The meeting, for which no agenda is yet available, is expected to take place at City Hall.

• On Friday, August 24, the Historic Preservation Commission holds its second meeting for the month of August at 10 a.m. at City Hall.
