We’re back for another edition of Norwood in Nine, where, after every council meeting, I break down the top takeaways. While I won’t claim to be an expert on Norwood’s issues, I try to keep up with things.
Tonight’s meeting lasted 150 minutes, which means that by listening to this episode, you can be informed AND reclaim 141 minutes of your life. That’s just more time that you can spend doing good in the ‘wood.
On this edition of the show, we’ll cover highlights from the August 25, 2020 meeting, including a deep dive into the US Playing Card redevelopment, a new manual for guiding a select group of city employees, and a downright bizarre conversation about happenings in Ward 1.

Bravo! Thank you John Moore for successfully distilling the August 25, 2020, 2.5 hour City Council meeting into “Norwood in Nine” (minutes). Helping citizens become efficiently informed about our City government is a helpful and powerful service to our community. This is a shining example of how energetic, talented people help build up our community. Having said that, the 30-minute discussion on the Council floor about citizen(s)’s the complaints about the process of how the property at 1822 Hopkins has been permitted to be used was a frustratingly low quality of “communication.” I think it would be better for the Council to either: a) say it, own it, account for it, and be transparent, or b) just not spend everybody’s time talking in riddles. Great that Councilmember Eric DiNardo asked out loud what was being communicated. And blessed be the peacemakers.
