Hello all,
The City Council once more discussed the proposed Community Garden ordinance at yesterday’s committee meeting. After another fairly lengthy discussion they decided to set it for public hearing at their 3.12.09 City Council meeting.
Take note of the change in date. I originally communicated the prospect that it would be heard tomorrow, 3.5.09. The Council attorney wanted one additional week to look into a state statute that might be related to the proposal. While the Council will conduct a first reading tomorrow they will not take public comment.
I’m sorry for the short notice however this change provides one additional week to provide communication with your Councilor if you have comments you wish to convey and the change will also permit you additional time to make arrangements to attend the Council hearing.
The City Council meets on Thursday, March 12, 2009 at 6:00pm at City Hall (One Technology Center) at 175 E. 2nd St. (NW/c of 2nd and S. Cincinnati Av.) on the 2nd level (level of public entrance from 2nd St.).
The City Council wants to hear from their constituents regarding the proposal.
Again, I would encourage each of you to take an opportunity to contact the City Council to provide your input. You can find your Council district at: http://www.tulsacouncil.org/map.php and find your corresponding Councilor’s email address under the ‘Councilors’ tab at the top of the same page –or contact them by phone at 596.1990.
The Council may benefit from hearing from as many constituents and stakeholders as possible regarding the proposal.
I look forward to seeing many of you next Thursday, March 12, 2009 at 6:00pm.
Regards,
Duane Cuthbertson
