SANTA BARBARA COUNCIL & ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETINGS: June 5

Aug 27, 2023

The Council meeting for this afternoon at 2:30 was televised and will be rebroadcast Tuesday at 6 AM on City TV, ch 18 - 6 AM is not a typo! - and again on Wednesday at 9:30 P.M., that is, after the City Council meeting for which it is the predecessor. It would be particularly worth hearing if only for councilmembers' comments. Sneddon's were particularly interesting and were written -- perhaps she would send them to Edhat and perhaps Edhat would be able to publish as a long op-ed? Others were also valuable, Harmon's to reconsider the reserve policies, for instance, and Friedman's and the mayor's, too, about the :::gasp::: importance of considering what the voters intended in voting for Measure C for fire/police/infrastructure --- and how the promises should be more than just considered. ....There was the expected library contingent urging that the library should be considered "essential infrastructure." All-in-all, it was a meeting worth watching.
