(PENSACOLA) --- A joint meeting between Mayor D.C. Reeves, Pensacola City Council, and the Escambia County Board of Commissioners for April 16 is up for approval at this Thursday's regularly scheduled Pensacola City Council meeting.
That is one item on the short agenda for the 5:30 p.m. meeting this Thursday at 223 W. Main Street, discussed this afternoon at the regularly scheduled Agenda Conference at the same location.

For readers unaware, the meeting before the meeting is less formal than Thursday night.
As it stands, the Consent Agenda approves a golf-cart lease between Yamaha and the local golf course. The other two consent agenda items, most often approved with no discussion, were reported by OpGov.News already.
They are two matters referred by Parks and Recreation Board, including the donation of the Alexander Stoddart statue and approval of a Memorandum for the Bill Bond Baseball group.

As for the regular agenda, it is heavier with the aforementioned meeting between local and county officials, listed under #7.

The meeting's focus is not noted in writing, but may be discussed on Thursday if officials choose to disclose.
Other Regular Agenda items include the plans for 801 W. Avery Street, which include #4, #5, and #6 on the list. These items should also be discussed in light of the property sale, donation, and removal from the inner-city area by the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA).
Lastly, #8 considers repealing an existing ordinance regarding curbside cardboard removal.
"In May of 2009 this Ordinance was amended via Ordinance 18-09 wherein the language was changed from "Moving / packing boxes" to Corrugated cardboard. It appears, based on the plain language of the ordinance, that there is no charge for the placement of cardboard, flattened and placed curbside. It equally appears that when passed, this ordinance did not envision the current state of home deliveries; and amounts of cardboard generated," the ordinance summary reads. "No negative comments from sanitation have been received regarding this request for repeal."
While the agenda may not be sexy, every issue matters when it comes to public policy regarding Pensacola citizens.
