Dear Readers:
Next month we will be in the teens for Cambridge Matters as we do our countdown to the end of the current city council and the election in October of the new city council.
We had some interesting issues at this meeting and will have more for both of the March meetings so think about coming to participate in our local democracy.
Thanks for reading.

Dear Readers:
Attached is Cambridge Matters #21 from last night’s meeting.
We received some great information on Eagleman and IronMan and the Pine Street Project, but there was not much to take action one. The one matter of substance brought some disagreement about which I explain in more detail on the attached.
I hope you find this helpful.

Dear Readers:
Attached is my first report from City Council for 2020. For the most part the meeting went smoothly except that it was not being shown on the Internet. We were advised by the City Manager that it was being recorded and that it would be available soon. Hopefully that is the case.
The City continues to make progress in a variety of areas.
As I mention in the report, the presentation regarding Sailwinds was not available on Monday evening but has been promised. As soon as I receive it, I will forward it on to you.
