From the Council Memos, Rising Sales Tax Receipts and Good Grades for Code

Council's off this week and next for spring break -- which, for Mayor Tom Leppert, includes a trip to D.C. early tomorrow morning to, yet again, ask Washington suits to expedite the stuck-in-a-ditch Trinity River project.

Gonzalez addresses the Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program.
