This tells me that the current financial people we have now, like the budget director, treasurer, procurement officer (all the financial positions) are unqualified for their jobs. If the mayor wants a CFO, then what about all the other current positions? Who's getting cut...if no one does..... will there be duplicate responsibilities? I think these questions should have been answered in some type of committee before sending this to the state legislature. The way it's being sent now, is like another blank check.

I'm actually disappointed that #4 failed; it should have been sent to committee so that it could have been reviewed in detail. Wonder if the Common Council regrets it's decision from last week now?
I not disappointed though that reconsideration on the piece failed. You'd think that after the events of last week, the Mayor would have been there from the start to help shepard the piece through to a resolution more acceptable to him. |

| While I'm glad item 4 failed, I would not have minded if it went into committee. Those 5 common council members that refused to put it in committee did nothing but play games..... and it backfired on them. Not too bright, and I think it's time for those 5 to take a hike. They don't belong in city government with their game playing. It's not the place for it. |

ha ha ha HA! I've gone around and around with ECTV about "certain" video that for some unforeseen reason are damaged or unavailable to upload. I'm not buying it, and I think little Miss Schiz (who thinks she's mayor) is behind it all. She doesn't get it, and could not be more obvious. I know Rosa DiFlorio lead the pack not sending it to committee because of her own reasons, and of course Cindy Sarnie does what ever she does, and the President followed along which was disappointing to me because I started to think he wasn't doing that bad. Rosa was getting very upset about sending it to committee and I'm not sure why. This was not something to get upset about. People had questions and wanted those questions answered. Sending that to committee would have been the obvious thing to do. Actually, it should have started there. NOT sending it, made no sense.
Sorry, cant remember the others. I'm "guessing" Rodriguez and maybe Adam Ragucci. I have a MAJOR problem with Rodriguez voting on these items anyway that his WIFE drafts. BIG TIME ethical issue. I've never seen him ONCE question what is out there, or vote against it. |

Actually, the original motion to send the piece to committee failed 5 to 9 according to last week's Advocate. So there were nine of them who voted against it.
I can't remember exactly who voted for and against it either. But I think that the names that Tails listed above are probably right. I believe that it would be a safe bet to add Marcus and Ranieri to that list as well. One name that I'd usually expect to vote with the Mayor, D.J. Napolitano, was listed in the Advocate as being the only other councilor along with Peter Napolitano who voted against sending the piece to the Legislature. So I'm not sure that adding him to the list of those who voted against sending the piece to committee would make any sense without some further proof. |

| Since we switched to the the dish we sometimes watch the online video. The July 18 council video is still not online to watch. The chief financial position sounds like just another high salary job added to the budget. |

| Just do all the streets 24/7. They are asking way to much for this. Like Sgt Bova said, you do one and then more to follow. Grow some nose hairs and do the whole city once and that will be the end of it. Start it next year and be rid of it. |

I've stated before that there is not much that the City Council can do to prevent the fountain from being built if that was their desire. I've re-thought that and there is one thing that they could possibly do. They could vote not to accept the donations, no matter what account they are submitted to. I seriously doubt that would ever happen though.
3.
What does anyone know about this appointment? Does it "ensure" that the Waters Ave Project receives approval of the planning board? Don't the members of the Planning Board have to be confirmed by the Common Council as well?
4.
Huh? Wasn't there already $200K appropriated for the design of Beacham Street as a part of the sewer line replacement project? Is this more money for that project (If not, whatever happened to it? I thought that it was something that needed to be done ASAP.) or finally redoing the entire road (If so, where's that money coming from?) Depending on the answers to the previous questions, I guess the Stabilization Account could be an appropriate source for the funding. I'd be more comfortable with choosing a funding source if the status of this year's free cash was known first though.
10. + 13.
I believe that it would be a step backwards to "de-empower" the traffic commission. However, I do believe that steps need to be taken to open up the process though. Their agendas and meeting reports need to be published on a timely and changes implemented by the commission need to communicated much better to the general public. Perhaps their meetings should be televised too.
Piecemeal implementation of a 24/7 parking ban doesn't really seem to make sense though; it would seem to just move the problems from one street to another and making it really confusing for people to know where and where not they can park. Of course, the flip side is that a 24/7 parking ban would mean increased staffing in the parking office unless the intention is to have the police do the addition enforcement; I think that we all know that would not work out in the long run. I feel that even the piecemeal approach, if extended to enough neighborhoods, would also require additional staffing somewhere down the line too.
11.
Does anyone believe that this piece really has a chance of being passed this time? |

I agree about the fountain. It's going up, and that's it. I suppose technically the donations can get denied but as you stated, that will never happen. The BOA should accept this and move on without discussion. We had enough grandstanding, cross-debates, accusations and last but certainly NOT least....BOASTING over this memorial fountain. I for one have had enough.
I don't recall planning board members being appointed by both councils, but sometimes the rules apply, and sometimes they don't. I knew there was a problem with the Water's Ave Project so I'm sure the new appointee is the correction to get that moving forward.
I was against item 11 before, but changed my mind on that. I think public safety employees should work in the city they live, and I also think it should be for teachers too. Not sure how the residency requirement should be worded, but as long as the Everett resident has the qualifications, they should be hired first. |
