City expected to take in $663,000 extra in hotel taxes . . . sadly, that can't go toward police or streets or community...

They don't need proper notice . . .Maniaci sees no reason not to proceed with a vote at Plan Commission this evening on the Edgewater . . . so I'll explain it to her.

Try as I might, I haven't gotten back into the daily grind of doing the daily round up, but I'm going to try again this week, there is so much going on, that I haven't been able to keep up with!

Council Workgroup still meeting, but not ready to meet with Overture parties yet . . . Thuy Pham-Remmele's Boogey Man and more.

No. Yes. No. Wait. No. Maybe?

Lots and lots of meetings this week, most not on the schedule yet. The meetings Sunday and Monday are on the weekly schedule, without the agenda, but there are here and here. Here's some updates on the meeting on Friday, and plans for the council to meet on Thursday. And, a few not so smart moved by Overture folks.

Overture, Overture, Overture . . . all in closed meetings . . . .

Here we go . . . winter's here!

The age old dilemma, how do you get the downtown streets taken care of, when there are so many cars in the way? Apparently, not with the cities new "no parking 8 - noon on XXXX" policy." They will ticket, but STILL not sweeping the streets. I'm annoyed, only because with some attention to detail, the policy could have been done right and it could work for downtown. All pictures in this blog taken yesterday.

Please keep informed and move your car! SNOW PLOWING UPDATES by Alan Schumacher, Streets Superintendent posted December 2, 2010 7:44 AM First Significant Snow of Season...

I find the Mayor's comments about the Council Overture discussion absolutely offensive. I am not a big fan of this council for many reasons, but this media campaign to blame them is just unfair and dishonest.

My computer crashed on me around 3:15, so I took the rest of the half hour or so of notes by hand. These are the motions that were made after they went around the room and took their straw vote of sorts. The alders start getting a little testy at this point.
