2019 Mislaid City Packet Information

Residents prepared several economic documents and some of these were submitted to be included in the August 28 Plan Commission packet. All City submission rules were faithfully followed, but instead of appearing in the packet, these documents were buried in a "Historical packet" which the PC chairman, at the September 11 meeting, admitted he did not read. He stated they were not relevant. It's doubtful any of the other PC members or Aldermen who voted against the residents read the material either.

See below the documents submitted, which include economic data and also other relevant material to the NU amendment issue.
