The Tacoma Fire Department will do a presentation on what citizens can do to prepare for a natural disaster during the first portion of the Oct. 18 study session. The Council is also scheduled to hear an overview of the Planning Commission’s recommended revisions to the City’s Critical Areas Preservation Ordinance (CAPO). The updates to the CAPO and Environmental Policy portions of the City’s Comprehensive Plan are meant to comply with the “best available science” requirements of the state’s Growth Management Act. The public may attend the noon study session in the first floor Council Chambers, Tacoma Municipal Building, 747 Market St., but the Council will not take public comment. TV Tacoma will broadcast the disaster preparedness portion of the study session live on cable channel 12 within the City of Tacoma. CityPost (Channel 85 on Click!, Channel 77 on Comcast) will air the audio portion of the entire session live. Replays of the study session audio may be heard Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. on CityPost (Channel 85 on Click!, Channel 77 on Comcast).
