Short Meeting
Tonight's Chico City Council meeting is light on substantive hearings that might drag on into the wee hours. In fact, I predict the meeting might even end before 7:30 pm.
The City Council will vote to replace Kathy Barrett's vacant Arts Commission seat since she was appointed to the Planning Commission.
And they'll likely vote to support Councilor Scott Gruendl's request to have the City's Finance Committee tackle the Chamber of Commerce's budget deficit recommendations, which basically means the Chamber can take an even more formal role in advising the Council on how to whack the budget.
Furthermore, the City Council, acting as the Redevelopment Agency, will likely give final approval to sell 1.03 acres of land near the airport to local company Blackline Manufacturing/MTECH.
According to the company website: "MTECH, Inc., the home of Blackline Manufacturing screenprint products, is the premier manufacturer of quality plastic fabricated equipment for screenprint clean-room applications."
Today's Scrabble word is ensky, to raise to the skies.

Will they announce that Dave Burkland has been appointed as "permanent" City Manager?

Dave,
I did not see anything in the agenda that indicates that the Council will announce a new City Manager.
I would expect interim City Manager Dave Burkland will get the nod.
However, tonight the Council will adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute agreements related to tow service programs administered by the Police Department and the Housing and Neighborhood Services Department.
I know this action is very exciting to all my readers. There's nothing more than "tow service agreements" that inspires people. I'm surprised that "Tow Service Agreement" isn't as popular a campaign slogan as "Hope" or "Change."

Your title turned out not to apply to this meeting... I think that it was around 10:15 when they started the RDA agenda.
