Early Voting Starts Tomorrow, Monday, April 24th!

We have a light agenda tonight, in part because at the next meeting, we’ll have a very heavy agenda for a joint meeting with Planning & Zoning to consider passing a restriction on Short-Term Rentals in Plano, which I called for a few meetings ago.

You can sign up online to speak at council meetings in person or via Zoom online at this link up to 15 minutes before the scheduled meeting, which is typically at the 7:00 Regular Meeting. You may alternatively share your thoughts by emailing the council members any time at our email addresses here, or by 4:00 PM the day of the meeting at councilcomments@plano.gov. The council meeting will be livestreamed on PlanoTV.org and on the City of Plano Facebook page.
