  • The American Rescue Plan Funding discussion was held at 3 PM when most people were at work. City Council made votes on the ranking of projects to fund. This process of ranking should be done at the 6PM session. The work sessions were designed for staff presentations and not voting for items. Jane has mutated to suit her personal agendas.
