Next Week’s Council Meeting is OC-Centric

I’ve been scanning the 149-item agenda for the Jun 22 City Council meeting (so you don’t have to), and I’ve found plenty of Oak Cliff issues. They include a hearing on the Stevens Park Estates conservation district, more arcane machinations regarding the Davis Garden TIF District, and a hearing about someone’s plans to sell liquor just blocks from Sunset High School.

After the jump, I’ve posted the brief summaries of these items so that you can find the item numbers for the issues that interest you.
