Upcoming community engagement session for the 350 Merrydale Interim Shelter Project on December 9 at Venetia Valley School from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.        

Is the City considering forming a citizens committee to look at the issue?

Given the very strict timelines that the Legislature has imposed for this process under the CVRA, and the substantial number of hearings that must be had in a short time, a citizen commission is impractical at this point. Nothing would prevent the Council from appointing such a committee in 2021, when lines are redrawn following the next Census.
