Yeah, I was pissed about
Yeah, I was pissed about this too. Fortunately, Rob Frost came along and I piggy backed on his entry card.
Please let Dave Hill (dhill@cityofknoxville.org) know you showed up and couldn't get in.
As for the workshop itself, not much to report. Council seems generally pleased with the consultant's work, and supportive.
The Oversight Committee meeting last night was a bit more substantive (and the C/C Bldg was NOT locked then) - I'll try to post on that tomorrow.
