City Council Meeting Audio 6/27/07

NEXT DAY SERVICE!!!

There were several important issues hashed over at this meeting. The $33,000.00 proposed closing of North Bank Street, The proposal to extend the police early retirement incentive for the command staff, and the Housing Authority's changes to the Hope VI plan.

The commentary was lively and informative.

Just a note: There were only three City Council candidates in attendance Ken Brown (on Council), El Warner, and Roger Ruggles. To us this is a honest measure of commitment to be a City Council member. Mr Brown has a very good attendance record (he missed one last year to honeymoon). Ms Warner and Mr Ruggles are both members of the Home Rule Charter Commission, and their attendance is also admirable (the HRCC meetings are many times long arduous affairs).

We see the continued absence of Bill Timmann, Peter Melan, and Jeff Warren as indicators of both their ability and willingness to actively participate in the resolution of the City's issues.

City Council Meeting Audio 5/23/07 & 6/13/07

Again, I must apologize for my lack of timeliness. My laptop doesn't work well in the pool.

Today I give you the last 2 City Council meetings.

The May 23rd session was a short meeting. Fire Department officers were sworn in, & the mayor rubber stamped another board member.

The June 13th meeting was short but important. Planning held a public hearing to discuss the reallocation of $300,000.00 of leftover CDBG funds. One of the proposed expenditures (closing the 1st block of North Bank Street at $33,000.00) drew a good deal of scrutiny.
