Next Wednesday, January 7 Council will have two Work Sessions — the first session is to ‘pick up from the table’ the affordable housing Ordinance laid down at the December 15 meeting and return it to active work, and the second session is to continue hashing through changes on that Ordinance. Thus far, this constitute the only legislation on January’s docket.

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. (Note: Work Sessions don’t generally have a Public Hearing component, but you can still send me your thoughts as they are always helpful as I approach the meeting.)
