@patrickconant Any ordinance change could require two conversations at council (I.e. across two meetings) so certainly no consent agenda.

We need a solid career ladder to retain our amazing staff. I’m proud of our collaboration to approve next years budget!

AVL City Council put on a clinic for NC cities on how to recruit & retain firefighters. @CityofAsheville will now provide 5% incentive pay for their NC Advanced FF Cert, 5% wage increase, additional 1% to 401k, & $ for a study on ways to provide OPEB, w/ a focus on IAFF’s MERP.

@AllisonScottNC Yeah you did!!!!

Great news: A judge has ruled against FL's anti-trans healthcare ban, halting enforcement of SB254 against the plaintiffs. Inspiring step toward restoring access to care in FL. Thank you to plaintiff families & @SouthernLegal, @GLADLaw, @HRC & @NCLRights: https://t.co/0SwCL9iHW0

After review of the body cam footage I concur with the DA that our police officers acted appropriately. I am committed to advocate for police reform where necessary while appreciating the immense and dangerous challenges our officers face daily.

Gov Cooper is absolutely right. Every single person in this state who cares about public education: We need your help.
🍎 I've spent my whole life in NC public schools, on both sides of the classroom, and I refuse to pull the ladder up behind me. Public schools are for ALL #nced

Transit faces a fiscal cliff stranding millions from food, health care and jobs. States need to fill the gap. https://t.co/wfxmCFMs45

2023 Annual Council Retreat. My top priorities: 1. Getting climate on the docket. 2. Consensus building across council. 3. Creating specific goals so our limited staff time is focused on specific outcomes. #govlove #avltoday #avlnews

[Councilwoman Ullman @maggie4avl]

@Cranky_Engineer I don’t think your in the minority. I’ve received close to 1000 emails in favor or moving forward.

UPDATE from NCDOT 2/10/2023: The road diet is expected to be completed by early May.
NCDOT specifications do not allow for some of this work to be conducted during winter months.
The road diet is part of a larger project to resurface all of Merrimon Ave.

[Councilwoman Ullman @maggie4avl]

@patrickconant Staff reached out to the vendor. I’ll share more info when I have it.

[Councilwoman Ullman @maggie4avl]

Guilty. 😂

[Shit Nonprofits Say @nonprofitssay]

Need to pull some people together, but can’t decide whether to have a roundtable, a sit-down, a stand-up, a convening, a visioning process, a brainstorm, strategy session, a workshop, an input gathering, a listening session, a stakeholder meeting, or a charrette.

[Councilwoman Ullman @maggie4avl]

Have you signed up for AVL Alert with @CityofAsheville? Part of responding to weather emergencies is preparing ahead of time. We have a long list of things to work on at the city, and as residents this is one thing you can do. #avlgov #avltoday https://t.co/IAjgdHV5qp
