Sebastopol City Council learns the power of potholes
The agenda for the April 21 Sebastopol City Council meeting seemed rather blasé, but the council chambers were packed with neighbors from some of the town’s worst-maintained streets come to plead with the city to fix them. Before the council got to that item on its agenda, however, it had to wade through a few other things, including a Climate Action Committee interview, the usual council preliminaries, and two public hearings. The road repair discussion was followed by a debate about fee waivers for events and how much staff time councilmembers are allowed to use without permission from the larger council.
