Left In Lowell

I lost track of the Lowell City Council meeting schedule. On Monday when I checked the “posted” agenda on the Government page, and there wasn’t a link, I assumed that there was a computer glitch. Nevertheless, it has been two weeks since the Lowell City Council has met so I thought they were due to meet yesterday but the I was informed no; in the Summer the City Council only meets twice a month, not every two weeks as I had incorrectly assumed.

So the last Council meeting was on July 22nd; the next one will be next Tuesday, August 12th. That is a long time for the legislative branch of our local government not to have met. And the CC has also taken some time off from Sub-Committee meeting. Last week, on the 29th, the Parks and Recreation Sub-Committee (CCs R. Mercier (Chair), K. Broderick, M. Lenzi) met; one Sub-Committee meeting in 3 weeks.

There are only two sub-committee meetings scheduled for the rest of the month. The first is next Tuesday, August 12, Auditor/Clerk Oversight Sub-Committee (CCs K. Broderick (Chair), B. Martin and R. Mercier), they will discuss the “Auditor/Clerk Evaluations”; the second meeting is August 19, Economic Development (J. Milinazzo, A. Kazanjian, M. Lenzi, B. Martin). (more…)

Yeah, it’s a week of geek. Sorry!

Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. Go watch it while it’s available! You can also own it from iTunes, but it’s now being played on the site for free - all three episodes in one pass. It’s a Joss Whedon production, featuring Neil Patrick Harris, and if you’re a Firefly fan, Nathon freakin’ Fillion (*swoon*). And another familiar face from the last season of Buffy, too.
