March 9^th	Council Meeting
	Excellent meeting

Meeting as symbol: celebrate century anniversary –plus agree to ‘start again’ --- renovate

Meeting was one of the more productive that I have seen

1^st Dandelion bloom

Along with the renewal at City Council, – Spring is early outdoors too

(see bottom this page for previous dandelions as indicator of season)

	Spokesmen not for 3^rd Avenue property owners – but larger business community
	From the buzz on the street before meeting, I was expecting ‘revolt of 3^rd Avenue’ – instead we saw people trying to work with each other – seek out and accommodate all the divergent views, options and opinions

I will go into the substance of the discussion later --- The outcome was ‘let’s form a committee’ but in good sense that seeks mutual understanding through dialogue	And meeting was played to a clapping and appreciative ‘full house’

As soon as the presentation was over—everyone but the media left Perhaps they showed good sense – as nothing much of interest happened after that--- which is again symptomatic of what is wrong with this City Council	But then we got back to ‘business as usual’

SQCRD Budget Mtg

	Budget input at SQCRD tonight at 5PM
	It is your taxes that are paying for this Note the deficit and the increased ‘Tax Requisition’ which means mainly PR Note ‘deficit’ More later

More on Council & SQCRD meeting tomorrow
