City Council Agenda - 06/18/07

Minutes of this meeting are available here

Of particular interest is Lance Maclean’s favorite boondoggle - item 38. He wants to tear down the well maintained city announcement board and replace it with an electronic monstosity like those at Saddleback College. Why? Perhaps so his name will be up in lights. It is coveinently located on the consent calendar, where no member of the public may discuss it.

Also of note is item 52A, the Urban land Institute’s report. Their vision of a socialistic workers paradise is at odds with the vision of most Mission Viejo resident.
