When most people are off on family vacations or doing something fun and interesting this week, at least 19 of the council members will be in a meeting Tuesday night. Technically, I have the week “off”, but I’ll be going in to work tomorrow and the Council work never stops. The highlight of my week “off” is Rob’s band Baghdad Scuba Review is playing at Summerfest on Thursday and my sister and I will be on the bus. Today, we’re off the zoo with the nieces.
Here’s the highlights of the actions we’ll be taking on Tuesday.

#72 – More money for Garbage Cans
It seems as tho the budget for the new garbage collection process is going to cost us a half of million dollars more than projected. The reasons given are that
a) more people are getting the 95 gallon carts (most recycling bins are 65 gallons) because that is the size you get if you didn’t respond to a postcard months ago.
b) petroleum prices.
#83 – Throwing in the towel on Mid-State St. Parking Ramp.
#103 – Spending $300,000 to find out what is wrong with the Water Utility.
#122 – Regional Transportation Authority
Well, after all the splash this week, the Council’s vote on the RTA will be largely insignificant. And once again, we’re left out of the conversation. When it looked like Mayor Dave and County Exec Kathleen were going to continue fighting, this resolution was a good idea. Now its useless. However, it is important to note that this resolution DOES NOT ratify the agreement the two of them struck. In fact, I’m still not sure I understand all the ins and outs of what they agreed to, as Paul Soglin notes, keep a close eye on what folks are saying.
