Meetings and Events in the Week Ahead

We are exactly a month away from the vernal equinox and three weeks away from the return of daylight saving time. As we move through the last full week of February and get closer to spring, here is what's happening.

• On Tuesday, February 20, at 6:00 p.m., the Common Council holds its February meeting. At the informal meeting last Monday, the room was filled with people bearing signs and urging the Council to pass a resolution calling for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, the release of all hostages and political prisoners, the swift and unrestricted entry of humanitarian assistance to Gaza, and an end to all U.S. military aid to Israel, among other things. The Council has also received numerous letters, both in support and in opposition to the resolution, sixty-four of which can be found here. The Council will be voting on this resolution on Tuesday, as well as on a resolution opposing the County's plan to use 11 Warren Street for offices and storage of the voting machines. The meeting is a hybrid, taking place in person at the Central Fire Station, 77 North Seventh Street, and on Microsoft Teams. Click here to find the link to join the meeting remotely.

The meeting takes place in person only at the Central Fire Station, 77 North Seventh Street. 

Update: This month's ZBA meeting has been canceled.
