Jan 8th at 7pm on the 9th (top) floor of City Hall. 300 Monre Ave N.W., Grand Rapids. Feel free to park in the parking ramp under City Hall where you can get your parking validated.
This City of Grand Rapids has a few ordinances that are preempted by State law and are essentially refusing to do anything about it.

http://grcity.us/city-clerk/Documents/City%20Commission%20Meetings%20Annual.pdfPlease be respectful AT ALL TIMES. More and more attention is being drawn to this and one person has the ability to make us all look bad. After the last meeting an angry man made a fool of himself while Phil and I politely listened. I would like for all of us to continue this same standard. I'm sure I have nothing to worry about with this group, but I would rather not leave anything to chance.
Please allow me to present first. I'm currently working on organizing my comments to focus everyone on the actual problem; The City is in violation of State law. A lot of other stuff is entering into the conversation that is distracting from my goal; To have the City no longer be in violation of State law.
Thank you for any support.

P.S. - You do NOT have to be a resident of Grand Rapids to attend the meeting. However, if you plan to say something, I would include a comment or story about your visits to the city.
(Edit) P.P.S - To the best of my, the security guards', and Mayor Hartwell's knowledge, there is nothing prohibiting any form of carry within the building. A.K.A. no CPL needed for OC.
Dinner afterward at Adobe Mexican Restaurant 617 West Fulton. (Edit) 617 not 616.
