This is a very important vote, and we ask you to show up and make your choices known.\nThe final staff report from Ken Nordhoff RECOMMENDS a vote FOR joining the JPA, and, we are told, the council members give enormous weight to staff's recommendations. Nevertheless, Council members still need to hear pro-MCE voices at Monday's hearing.\nWe encourage you to speak(1 to 2 minutes max) especially if you've never spoken up previously on MCE, and ALL of us need to be prepared to counter any further delay tactics by PG&E! Voices from LOCAL BUSINESSES advocating support for MCE would be especially welcome!\nHere's the difficulty: the meeting starts at 8:00 PM, but scheduled\nHopefully, there will be good news at evening's end! Thanks for your help!\nSue Spofford (415-721-2994)\nKiki La Porta (415-461-6677)\nCo-Chairs, Sustainable San Rafael\n\n AGENDA from http://www.cityofsanrafael.org/Government/City_Cler/City_Council_Redevelopment_Agency_Agendas.htm\n\nSAN RAFAEL REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MEETING – MONDAY, DECEMBER 15, 2008\nCOUNCIL CHAMBERS, CITY HALL, 1400 FIFTH AVENUE, SAN RAFAEL, CALIFORNIA\n\nMembers of the public may speak on Agenda items.\n\nOPEN SESSION – COUNCIL CHAMBERS – 7:00 PM\nNone.\n\nCLOSED SESSION – CONFERENCE ROOM 201 – 7:00 PM\nNone.\n\nORAL COMMUNICATIONS OF AN URGENCY NATURE: 7:30 PM\nTHIS PORTION OF THE MEETING IS RESERVED FOR PERSONS DESIRING TO ADDRESS THE AGENCY ON URGENCY MATTERS NOT ON THE AGENDA.
