Ann Arbor City Council Preview: November 15, 2021



Happy #a2Council night to all those who celebrate. Here's tonight's agenda and the A2AF episode about the meeting. 

The evening kicks off with a short, nine-item consent agenda. Of note, CA-9 litigation services, for an appellate case defending the city's stormwater fees. 

There are three public hearings on the docket tonight. PH-1/B-1 is a township island rezoning. PH-2/B-2 is on the Sanitation Supplies in Public Restroom ordinance. PH-3/DB-1 is on the site plan for Grace Bible Church at 1300 South Maple. 

There are two ordinance first readings tonight. C-1 is an ordinance to rezone ~33 acres at 3002 Chelsea Circle from R3 (townhouse) to RB4 (multi-family dwelling). I don't know a ton about this, but it's coming with full recommendation from Planning Commission. C-2 is an ordinance to amend the Dominick's PUD. This is coming with Planning Commission unanimously recommended rejecting the change. 

Finally we have DC-1 which is a resolution to allow certain boards and commissions to continue to meet electronically. 

As always, gentle reader, I am probably forgetting some very important items here. What agenda items are you most looking forward to seeing. I am guessing that tonight will be another late night around the virtual council table. Hopefully we will see you there. The CTN stream starts at 7 pm. Make sure you follow the action on the #a2Council hashtag.

Ann Arbor City Council Preview: November 1, 2021




 

Tonight is the first #a2Council meeting of November. Hurray. Here's the agenda and here's the A2AF about the meeting. There's a nice dive into the Sustainable Energy Utility report, INT-2.  

The evening kicks off with a short, seven-item consent agenda. CAs 3 three through 5 are accepting grants from the MI Supreme Court for Veterans, Drug, and Mental Health courts. 

There is one public hearing on the docket tonight. PH-1/B-1 is on ward reapportionment. 

There are no ordinance first readings tonight and just two resolutions. DC-1 is a resolution to opposed Secure MI Vote, which is the current voter access restriction petition. DC-2 is a resolution to approve hiring Atleen Kaur as city attorney. 

It looks like a short agenda, but will it be a short meeting? As always, gentle reader, I am probably forgetting some very important items here. What agenda items are you most looking forward to seeing. I am guessing that tonight will be another late night around the virtual council table. Hopefully we will see you there. The CTN stream starts at 7 pm. Make sure you follow the action on the #a2Council hashtag.
