Wednesday, May 28 is another double-header for Council, containing both (a) another Work Session at 5 p.m. (to continue working on the election law re-write), plus (b) the regularly scheduled Council Meeting at 6 p.m. Both will be held in-person at the Council Chambers in the Municipal Building at 8103 Sandy Spring Road.

Note that there’s no “public hearing” (i.e., public comment) component to the Work Session, but there is to the regular Council Meeting. Also, I’ve provided both meeting agendas below separately, so you’ll be able to tell what is happening in which meeting. To sign up to speak, you contact the Clerk in advance at [email protected], and since the meeting is in person, you can also add your name to the sign-up sheet upon arrival.

As usual, see the City of Laurel’s meeting page for the official record, and if any agenda item holds interest for you, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me as your voice helps me shape legislation and decisions.

Watch live online via LaurelTV or the MyLaurel app, or on your TV via Comcast Channel 996 (HD)/ 71 (SD) or Verizon FiOS Channel 12.
