Why shop local Citizens Agenda Summary

City Council meeting agendas are often dicult for people to navigate. Filled with jargon and legal requirements on how an item must be listed, it can be a challenge to determine what council members are discussing or deciding on. Therefore, City sta now prepares a summary of the agenda items for the community to review. The o cial published agendas and support¬ing materials can be found at www.MidvaleCity.org/PublicMeetings. You can read the current Citizens Agenda at www.MidvaleCity.org/CitizensAgenda
