The SEDC's effort to inform our participating members with timely and interesting speakers continues this month. A look at the agenda will show we'll be getting briefed on the city's "Pedestrian Master Plan", on the state's plans to close the Department of Licensing office in Hillman City, and on the city auditor's audit of the district council system. There will be plenty of opportunity for comment on all three subjects. Also, there'll be informative updates on neighborhood planning and on the neighborhood matching and street fund determinations, and we'll consider membership for the Genesee Neighbors group. This will be our final meeting before taking the summer off. We look forward to seeing you Wednesday evening.

Below is the agenda.
