In addition to the budget updates (Capital budget notes and start of the Operating Budget) there are quite a few announcements that are worth noting including:
Large item, leaf and brush pick up.
Input needed on Economic Development.
Winter Parking Rules.
Computer Round Up.
Tonight is our third night of budget deliberations. We have 52 amendments to go through. We only got through a total of 20 amendments before we quit at 1:15 last night. While we finished the capital budget and actually decreased the spending from the Mayor’s budget, we only got through 3 amendments to the Operating Budget. We’d need to cover 8 amendments per hour to get done by 1:00 tonight. Which means we will likely be scheduling an additional meeting at some point or pulling and all-nighter.
The Mayor’s proposed budgets are here.
The amendments are here (capital and operating).
We’ll be at the Monona Terrace tonight.
I’ll try live blogging again tonight, but I can’t make any promises. The more my colleagues talk, the easier it is, but if we get on a roll, I might not be able to keep up.
