Agenda Suggestions for “Loose Cannons” HUFF meeting 10-2-25
Preliminary items might be limited to 1 minute presentation unless the group wants more info. The point is to maintain the real narrative not the one the City/County staff claims and to allow for any new input, briefly summarized. Additional items to be added at the Thursday [10-2] meeting. Please raise hands—look to Chair Venus or whoever is speaking at the time so the rest of us can hear what’s being said. Meetings are recorded for possible replay. If something you want to say is not for netcast, ask that recorder be turned off.
