Same as it ever was
Friday, January 8, 2016 by Elizabeth Pagano
At the moment, City Council is scheduled to hold its Austin Energy Utility Oversight Committee meeting prior to the jam-packed first regular Council meeting of 2016 on Jan. 28. That could change … if Council members can find a time when they won’t be attending another meeting. Committee Chair Sheri Gallo kicked off the rescheduling effort with a suggestion on the City Council Message Board that the meeting be held the previous day, at 1 p.m. Unfortunately, that time would potentially conflict with the Open Space, Environment and Sustainability Committee meeting and the Audit and Finance Committee meeting, which flank the suggested time. A suggestion to move the meeting to Jan. 25 also quickly became problematic, as it would conflict with a Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority board meeting. We’ll keep you posted on the developing rescheduling effort.
