You can watch the meeting live online, and the full 19-page agenda packet is available to view as well, I’ll include the link.
📌 Important note:
This is the last City Council meeting of the year with the current mayor. In January, McDonough will welcome a new mayor.
If you want to stay in the know, you’ve got to be in the room, even if that room is virtual.
Let’s keep building a better McDonough, together. 🌺
