Effective June 30th. Common Council will choose and interim alder.

They are finally having a meeting that is not at 3pm - and this is the first I saw this level of details about the meeting . . .

So, this is what Water Board President Lauren Cnare had to say about this little $6M snafu. If Denise DeMarb had not been asked, the powerpoint slides about what the water utility board thinks would not have been presented. What they have to say and what she explains sounds different than what I blogged about yesterday and the memo that the council got from the Water Utilty Manager Tom Heikkenen.

So, not much has changed on the list, but here it is. It is followed by an interesting conversation about what power the committee has. Turns out the guys that wanted the government structure discussion because the executive (mayor) has too much power, also thinks the Council Executive Committee shouldn't have more power either. I don't get it.

Nothing? What are the odds of that? 700 block of E Johnson is being referred due to an error in notification, Reconsideration of the Judge Doyle Square is being withdrawn and apparently the liquor licenses are all worked out?

Sigh . . . how the hell did we get here? The Water Utility "became aware" of a cash flow deficit during their audit and their solution is to sell a bunch of property and raise rates to cover the $6 million? This seems a little strange to me. The the water utility director is "surprised"? The council will be getting a briefing tonight.

And finally . . . now work!

Here you go! Again, sorry I was so slow this morning!

Here is, a little slow this morning . . .

5 meetings this week.

One meeting a day that they must have decided the public doesn't need to attend. Meetings at 10am, noon, 9am and 12:15. 15 meetings this week.

Half of this week's meetings are today. Starting at 9:30am. And 1/3 of the meetings are at silly times like 9:30, 10:30, 1:00, 8:30, 9:00, 2:30. There are three meetings (1/6) in legistar that are not on the weekly calendar.
