The Future of Martin Luther King, Jr., Library Town Hall Meeting April 22, 2006

From Councilmember Kathy Patterson, kathy.patterson@dc.gov

The memo [that Gary Imhoff] mentioned [in themail, April 12] was dated and delivered Monday, April 10; the Budget Support Act hearing was April 11, and it was during the hearing that I discussed holding a subsequent hearing, which Chairman Cropp then mentioned publicly. I favor considering the issue separately which is why I sent the memo, and we take the bill up for first reading May 9.

The first order, though, is a more thorough public vetting of the mayor's proposal, which we've scheduled Saturday, April 22, at 1 p.m., at MLK [901 G Street, NW]. It will be a town meeting rather than a public hearing because recess apparently extends through the weekend and I can't hold an official hearing during recess.
