The city council agenda is now out for the council meeting on Tuesday:

Of special interest :

(1) Joint Powers Board/Caltrain Broadway and Burlingame Avenue Train Station Improvements – Presentation/Direction. This is of interest to all who care whether our town will continue to be full of cars for sale and/or whether our small independent businesses be given the parking they require near their businesses.

(2) Consider appointment of Parks & Recreation Commissioner – Appoint/Other Action

(3) Planning Commission vacancies.

Just so we get it all straight this is what they say in the agenda about how the council can react or non-react to "PUBLIC COMMENTS – At this time, persons in the audience may speak on any item on the agenda or any other matter within the jurisdiction of the Council. The Ralph M. Brown Act (the State local agency open meeting law) prohibits council from acting on any matter which is not on the agenda. It is the policy of council to refer such matters to staff for investigation and/or action".

Perhaps a thank you from the council is considered "acting on any matter". What baloney! We will be watching to see what is considered "acting" in upcoming meetings.

Important to note that Safeway will not be getting dddddddirection at Tuesday's council meeting but the council meeting will be interesting nevertheless!
