Agenda Suggestions for HUFF meeting 9-11-25
For those wearied or impatient with the repeated Agenda, most of them except those flagged as action or discussion items might be limited to brief presentations from the Agendista unless the group wants more info. The point is to maintain the real narrative not the one the City/County staff claims. Raise hands; avoid talking over others. Add additional items may be added at the Thursday [9-11] meeting.
