Should You Go To Monday's Mayor And Council Meeting? Yes!

As >Rockville Central readers know, I have long pined for a way to watch meetings of the Mayor and Council on my computer — on my own timetable, rather than tuning in only when they are televised. For folks who are involved in civic activities, Monday night can be a big night and I, for one, often have other things on my mind than moseying on down to City Hall.

So I am delighted to learn that this Monday’s meeting of the Mayor and Council will be the first one that will test out the new “video on demand” service from the Our Fair City! I can watch our city leaders on my own schedule now, and for that I am grateful. I will post the link when I know it (it may be this one, in fact).

But, there’s still a good reason to go to Monday’s meeting! It is the second in a series of two public hearings on the new zoning ordinance. The Mayor and Council are gathering input as they consider revisions to the proposed new rules — and there are definitely issues to be discussed. Rockville Central friend Rich Gottfried is hoping that citizens who have small home-based businesses will come and weigh in, for example. (Rich has had a lot of success advocating — with other residents — for the creation of a new “no impact” home business category).

At the last such hearing, if memory serves, there were five speakers. So there is definitely room for you!
