Our new Elective Majesty reaches another first today as Mayor Emanuel calls to order his first City Council meeting at 10 a.m. Not only will this be Emanuel's first Council meeting as mayor, but the reconstituted City Council will be diving head first into the pool together as well. The agenda for today's meeting is available for downloading at City Clerk Susana Mendoza's website (PDF).

It reads like this meeting is going to be largely symbolic and more of a feeling out process for both Emanuel and the aldermen. But it'll be interesting to see how they develop working relationships and today is the first step.

NBC Nonstop (Channel 5-2 on your digital guide) will broadcast the meeting live. Karl will be live-tweeting the meeting on our Twitter feed. Join us.
