This is the January 29, 2009 draft of the Feb 2, 2009 Ann Arbor City Council agenda, as retrieved from the city web site. Any errors in transcription from PDF to text are my own; there are some small number of edits throughout, clearly marked, including hyperlinks as appropriate.
My copy of the PDF had various bits redacted, or at least it looked like they were redacted; in fact these are hyperlinks to the underlying documents. I'll try to preserve as much of that as I have patience for but you'd be better off fetching the original.
