Well, lets hope this year is better! Hopefully we can continue to right the wrongs of 2011 and the reign of terror Fitwalkerstan. We’ll do that by pushing to be as progressive as possible to help mitigate the damage done, right? We have an agenda for that, right? Buhler . . . .

4:30 PM COMMON COUNCIL ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITTEE ROOM 108 CCB
– Adopting an ordinance and administrative procedures to discipline themselves.
– Training and Conference Account policies for the council office
6:30 PM COMMON COUNCIL ROOM 201 CCB
– Requiring contractors to provide domestic partner benefits equal to those of married couples. (Wow, I just assumed we had done that already, but I guess that was the county being more progressive than the city once again)
– That absurd ordinance fining someone $5000 if they accidentally start a fire while cooking – the city needs this money why? How does this help? I think these folks have enough issues without the city piling on.
– Library Contract – likely to be rejected due to administrative slip up, and likely to be quickly reauthorized.
– Supporting in-state tuitiion for children of “illegal” immigrants
