Short and sweet this week. Some charter suggestions, Flock cameras again, and a new development down by Trace. Also some great workshops, and a short note about Jim Garber.
Let’s go!
Hours 0:00 – 1:19: Literally only three items! Charter Review suggestions, those Flock cameras, and a new development down by Trace.
Bonus! 3 pm workshops: This is where all the action is! Bikes, e-scooters, and how much work goes into keeping our river happy.
A short tribute: Jim Garber passed away this past Monday, and I want to say a few words. We knew each other before I started blogging, and he was probably the first person to figure out who I was on here. And then I turned around and gave him a hard time on the blog! On more than one occasion!
We emailed about it, and I sheepishly thanked him for being a good sport. His response was, “No problem. Healthy discussions with all viewpoints are what moves us forward. Keep up the good work!!!”
That’s the kind of lovely, good-natured person he was. He believed in honest discourse, which is a value I deeply share. He believed in fighting hard for what you believe, but also doing so with a light, good-natured touch. He was on P&Z for over a decade, and knows how P&Z works probably better than anyone in town. He’s been on probably on a dozen different short-term committees. He worked hard and shaped this city, but he did it while being quick to kid around and not take himself too seriously.
I’ll miss him for sure. May his memory be a blessing.
