Click on "Current City Council Agenda," and you can see how the meeting is organized.
Click on "Archived Agendas and Minutes" and you can see what they've done at previous meetings.
Click on a date under "minutes" on any given two-day meeting and scroll down past the people griping about potholes... past the unhappy tow truck drivers... past the recognition of Mrs. Smith's 2nd grade class for the poster they made for National Milk Week.... just past the part where "President Joseph Charles" is complaining that the city is conspiring with the mafia and space aliens to remove all of his internal organs with lasers. Shortly after that, you'll see where they recess until Wednesday. Wednesday is when the important stuff starts.
Pick a real agenda item from a Wednesday session at least a few weeks ago, where the minutes are online (but not before November, 2015), something where they're changing a city ordinance or spending a lot of money. Pick something where there was some council discussion, preferably some disagreement, and a recorded vote. Write a 2 page college-level essay about the item, telling me what the item was about, who was for and against it, what happened, and what you think about it.
(Note: There's not a lot so far this year that works for the assignment. Try looking at meetings from December, 2015)
Find an item with enough information that it gives you something to write about. Find something where there was some disagreement, or at least some serious discussion.
