1. -- 6:30 pm Special City Council Meeting
Tonight the City Council will be meeting to discuss and review the performance of the City Manager, Mr. Jim Hock. The extensive agenda (.pdf) includes a single motion to go into closed session for the discussion of the City Manager's performance. So anyone hoping to hear the Mayor and Council discussions on the subjects contained in the City Manager's memo (.pdf) -- especially the Mayor's and Council's discussion and opinions on the "prioritized goals" -- will probably be s.o.l.
The PRU Crew is pretty sure discussion of nearly all the subjects contained within the City Manager's memo don't fall under the exceptions to the Illinois Open Meetings Act, but what do we know.
2. -- 7:30 pm Regular City Council Meeting
After reviewing the performance of the City Manager, the Mayor and Council are set to begin their regular meeting festivities. The agenda (.pdf) for the meeting is light but, once again, we encourage PRU readers to pay particular attention to the Planning and Zoning topics on the agenda.
Our sources tell us some of the Aldermopes are wavering on their previous votes concerning whether or not to neuter the independent review authority of the Planning and Zoning Commission. We feel interested parties -- and by that we mean, people interested in a healthy system of governmental checks and balances -- should make the time to show up to tonight's meeting and help the Aldermopes understand that altering the current process is not in the community's best interests.
3. -- School District 64 H1N1 Update
For those who may not have received either the District's robocall or email announcement, District 64 has been informed that schools in the Park Ridge 60068 zip code only are tentatively scheduled for the CCDPH vaccination visit on Wednesday, December 2.
An informational packet and permission form (.pdf) are available in English, Polish and Spanish on the District 64 website.

Until we get rid of most of these idiots on the council, they will continue to screw up everything that was ever good about PR.
When you mention "interested persons" I would sure hope every Planning & Zoning commissioner shows up to speak to the issue. At least that might make it harder for the aldermopes to take away their authority.
If the Aldermen vote to take away the powers of Planning & Zoning, will CURB be getting their purple ribbons out of storage?
Good one, 1:41.
The CURB-ites (or is it CURRB-ites?) sure were big on making sure Howard Frimark had all the powers he wanted, but maybe they actually want Frimark's spawn to gain control over P and Z?
Whether the purple ribbons make another appearance probably depends on how many of those evil Democrats are on P and Z.
CURRB has a better tool than purple ribbons this time. They have Schmidt in the mayors seat.
Anon@4:00 --
Our understanding of both the CURRB philosophy and Mayor Schmidt's position on redevelopment and new building is -- stay within the current zoning code and everything will be fine.
I should have said CURRB and Schmidt also have the mighty PRU to defend them too. LOL!
