Turns out, yesterday afternoon the committee filed with the City Secretary’s Office notice of a “special called meeting” for this very Friday, to be held from 2 to 4 p.m. in Room 6ES of Dallas City Hall. And the subject of the meeting is, of course, “Convention Center Hotel — Developer and Site Selection, Financing, and Project Status.” Assistant City Manager A.C.
