At this point, this is an oldie but goodie. We are going back a few weeks to the council meeting that took place on October 22nd. 

A lot of discussion items to go over, including a new homelessness outreach initiative, a resolution about new commercial flights at Palomar Airport, all the protected bike lanes popping up around the city, and more.
