Common Council Recap: 10/16/2007

It was short.

We approved closing the two TIDS to give money to the city and school district. We gave the cops $100,000 despite the fact that they didn’t follow through on much of anything that they said they were going to do. So, we don’t really know what they are going to do with that money. We referred eliminating the ordinance that automatically approved mayoral appointments after 20 days after getting a letter from Bill Clingan that he waived his rights to enforce that ordinance.

There were several other things that we did on the agenda, but no one wanted to talk about much so we passed the agenda in one sweeping motion with the exception of the two things noted above. As a result of our one motion, building inspection can now give tickets for construction noise, if you have more than 4 garbage carts the City will charge you extra, we settled with the Building Trades, approved more money for architects to design improvements for the Municipal and City-County Buildings, approved the BID plan, rejected a plat and several more things that I’m sure were really important to people throughout the City.

I didn’t note the time, but we were out of there in less than an hour. Then we went to Paisan’s. Well, at least some of us did. (Bruer, Clausius, Schumacher, Clear, Solomon, Kerr, Webber, Verveer, Judge, Rummel and our two friendly, tho sometimes antagonistic, tag alongs.)
