Earlier this week I announced the site would be winding down and the agenda previews would be ending. It wasn’t a plea, it was an attempt to be transparent and honest about the situation. Since then, folks in the community reached out to see if there was any way to reverse that decision and offering support. I’d especially like to thank Stephanie Poynor for rallying support this week and convincing me to rethink the decision. It worked.

There’s some under-the-hood work I’ve started that needs to be finished that will help streamline that side of the work and reduce a few cost which will be the focus this week.

In the meantime, if you’re looking to catch up with what has been on council’s agenda, Stephanie was doing agenda previews long before this site started. I helped her put those together to be available online at https://poynoragenda.review.

    Thank you for reconsidering,
    Stephanie
