I’ve been critical of this and prior city councils for their lack of commitment to a long-term comprehensive strategy for the city. But when it comes to its weekly meetings, the council has, for the most part, stuck to the items on its published agenda. There have been frequent motions to suspend the rules, but it’s been to take up something already on the agenda out of order, typically for the convenience of a member of the public who is at the meeting to speak on that one item.
You hit it out of the park again Dick. Just read the Sustainable Lowell plan. It is a great guide. Wondering if Golden and city counsel are even aware.
If Lowell had a strong mayor system, I would volunteer to be your campaign manager. It's amazing what cold be accomplished if city leader's would put in the kind of honest and intelligent analysis to address not what what needs to be done, but how to conduct productive meetings to address those problems rather than political sideshows based on personal/ideological agendas. Hope genuine city leaders are paying attention.

So helpful, as usual!

Yes, I agree!
