| Rumor is that Sachetta is not running next year; so he is a fair choice in that regard IMHO. We'll have to see how he does in the position though. |

| If anything is going to get done this year in city council, it'll need to get done before nomination papers are available for the new city council. After that, it'll all be about getting elected. |

2. I don't mind this piece because all it really does is give the city more options in setting the tax rate each year. The actual decisions would still have to be made each year.
But this has been talked about so many times that you'd think that the members of the city council would understand how this would work. There is no guarantee that this would lower the residential tax bill and in fact we know for certain that any home owner exemption increases the taxes on non-homeowner occupied residential properties and more city residents own one or more additional properties in the city than previously thought.
As was stated last night, the idea is to pair the increase in the residential exemption with a lowering of the shift of taxes on to the commercial base; thereby shifting taxes to the residential side of the ledger to lower the commercial rate. I think that if they actually ran those percentages (30%/165%) with the FY13 valuations and taxy levy, they might be surprised with the results.
In a way though, it's all really smoke and mirrors. Somebody still has to pay the tax levy. The only meaningful way to reduce taxes is to make impactful changes to the city budget. And before anyone asks, I don't really know how the city could do that and keep moving forward. I not saying that nothing can be cut from the budget but it is certainly questionable how much of an impact that could have on the tax rate.
4. This piece kinda bothered me in more than one way. Last fall, Councilor McLaughlin wanted to move the meeting before election date and he was "shouted down" because it was not a city election and the rules were the rules. OK, that's fine. But then the president doesn't show up for the meeting because he was working on the campaign of the congressman he work's for. Nice!!
Now, there's another election and it is technically not a city election even though, through redistricting, it only involves the city. And this time, it's OK to change the meeting date because some of the members are candidates. And the one that was doing most of the "shouting" the last time may stand too benefit by it. And no one says a word about it. Nice!! What I really don't get though is that they only did it for meeting before the final election and not before the primary. I guess that we can probably expect a couple of absences that night.
And what was up with the voting on that piece? Two of the councilors that could stand to benefit by it did the right thing and left the floor during the vote. The third stayed and actually voted on the piece. But did anyone expect him to follow any rules?
5. To me, all this piece equals is more face time for incumbents in an election year. Maybe there'd be more than five items on an agenda if they discussed issues at an an actual meeting. |

The agenda for the joint convention is posted on the city web site now; it is for the presentation of this year's version of the capital improvement plan. I thought that I checked it before I posted the above post; but I was probably wrong as I don't know when it would have been posted between then and now.
I was surprised the other night when the BOA rejected the administation's request for an extension of the due date for the capital improvement plan. But since I don't agree with the city solicitor's intrepretation that the entire new charter is "transitional" and I guess the BOA doesn't either, I'm not sure that they had any other choice. |
