Message from Councilor Abbott RE: Council Meetings

[CrestwoodNorth]

Hello Everyone!

Now that Hope Cooper has kindly shared her distribution list for the
Community Advisory Board (and as many neighborhood officers as are
currently available), I am forwarding the Birmingham City Council
Meeting Highlights for Tuesday, October 5, 2010 as a test. These
highlights are prepared by the Council's Public Information Officer
(PIO), Jacqueline Gray-Miller. We will send these highlights to you
every week following the Council meeting so that you will be aware of
what is going on in the city now that Brighthouse has moved the
televised meetings to a more expensive cable plan. Thank you.

Valerie
