All the hacks meeting in one place! What an opportunity for the public to speak out!

Of course, note that Public Comment is not allowed on each individual item but is stalled until the end of the meeting and then limited to one minute (!) per person.

Note also however that there will be a reception afterwards--perhaps an opportunity for TUSC and TUSC supporters to demonstrate pain compliance and strangulation holds for those City Council and UCSC staff too busy to have looked at the videos.

This meeting is OPEN to the PUBLIC. Though Mayor Mike Rotkin declines to give out his appointment calendar, here is one place we can meet and greet him and Denton and let them know what we think of their exciting new police policies!

Their prefabricated agenda follows:
