    Sebastopol City Council meets tonight (11/17) on Occupy, 7 p.m., Youth Annex

    PLEASE FORWARD

    The Sebastopol City Clerk has sent out an official notice of a special session of the Sebastopol City Council to address only the issue of Occupy Sebastopol. That meeting will be this evening, Thurs., at 7 p.m. at the Youth Annex, 425 Morris Street, which is as you enter our small town from Highway 12, to the right. Please help us mobilize a large number of people to attend and consider speaking. This morning's PD article follows.

    We have also heard from Norman Solomon, who supports Occupy Wall Street and is a progressive candidate from our district for Congress, that he will speak this Sat. at 2:45 in the Sebastopol Plaza at Solidarity Saturday. We have a permit for that event, which will include music from the Love Choir and others, as well as poetry, from noon to 1 p.m. The intention has been to have a celebration. Please also join us for that event.

    City refuses to consider Occupy Sebastopol permit application

    City officials on Wednesday refused to consider an application for a special events permit by Occupy Sebastopol protesters because it was not signed.

    The City Council had given the protesters until Tuesday to submit an application. A last-minute submission by Sebastopol attorney David Bush contained the letters “n/a” — short for “not applicable” — in the space for the applicant’s printed name and signature.

    “At 11:11 Tuesday night we sent an email to Bush that the application was unsigned and we could not accept an unsigned application,” said City Manager Jack Griffin. “We waited through the course of the day and didn’t hear anything. At 5:11 p.m. we decided there has not been a valid submission.”

    The Occupy Sebastopol camp has been set up at the town plaza since Nov. 5, in violation of the city’s ordinance against camping without a permit.

    However, the City Council refrained from enforcing the ordinance while it decided how to handle the situation.

    Bush could not be reached for comment Wednesday night.

    The issue of the protest will be considered at a special council meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday in the Youth Annex.
