Justme, I think every family has one of those family members. I call mine, "book smart, street stupid". I agree with the comparative study. I just don't feel now is the right time. When things are financially better, I wouldn't have a problem with it.

Actually, ours is a college professor so the term fits him perfectly!
I agree now isn't the time and frankly, I wouldn't trust the implementation to the current administration anyway.................. |

Thats what he's banking on. Everett (believe it or not) is on the low end on most of our salaries (although, lately he has increased them). Most Mayors in the surrounding areas make 100+. Even Town Managers make anywhere from 95-140.
You are absolutely right, just because someone has a degree, doesn't assure smarts.
Maybe we should do it on time on the job... Hmmmmmmmm lets see, that would probably give him 1.50. lol |

| That's to point, carlost. Seeing that the salaries are low, will shut people up. And for those that are too high (like his administrative assistant).............. too bad. If an over qualified person takes the job, a low salary is their problem, not the taxpayers! |

| At the very least.......the Mayor’s salary item should be tabled until we know what the state cuts are..... and where the administration is going to implement them. |

Then if it doesn’t get tabled, they should not single out just the mayor salary..... and your right……..they should have a comparative study done (I agree) PROPERLY.
If something like this is going to be done, it only makes sense to do it for the entire city as a whole, not just the Mayor, and see who actually is over/under paid.

Well, maybe I was wrong about agreeing with the intention of this piece. It seems to be another attempt by the Common Council to stick their nose where it doesn't belong. As I said in my pre-meeting comments, the city certainly needs to play its part but it just doesn't have the expertise or the resources that would be needed to take the point on something like this. Do the councilors (and the rest of us for that matter) have a right to be plugged into what's going on? Absolutely, to a point at least. As Councilor Peter Napolitano pointed out, some things aren't divulged due to security concerns. Speaking of Napolitano, even though I think he and I end up pretty much in the same place on this one, I think that some will not be in complete agreement how he got there. Even I'll admit that he sounded a lot like a spokesman for Distrigas.
14.
I guess that I also gave too much credit to Councilor Marcus for this one. I thought he'd know better than to just refer something like this to the state and expect them to do anything about it. What was I thinking? I glad that the Council President and the City Solicitor steered him on to the better path even though a home rule petition will take forever. How many does the city have pending already? I've lost count.
15.
I didn't have the greatest of times predicting how items would proceed at tonight's meeting; I missed on this one as well. We don't seem to have this particular problem with Capital to a high degree in my neighborhood . Somehow, the vast majority of the people in our neighborhood retrieve their trash barrels soon after they are emptied. I know that's probably not the case (and can't be) in every neighborhood. Let's see what Capital has to say.
17.
First beauty. Now history. What can I say?
18. & 19.
It bugs me when items are tabled with no reason given. Councilor DiFlorio was there for #19 but I guess that Councilor Sarnie wanted to speak on it. Whatever.
22.
Not the greatest use of an item under suspension. Let's hope that it not a start of a trend under the new president.
Speaking of which, I thought that new Council President DiFlorio ran a pretty decent first meeting. I think that she was helped by a fairly short agenda and the fact that Councilor Billy Cardello wasn't there to try to run the meeting for her. I have to disagree with Councilor Ranieri though; the length of a meeting has nothing to do with the quality of it.
I hope that the councilors that stayed home sick were sicker than Mr. Marchant sounded. |

2. + 3.
These two donations seem rather ironic. I don't know enough about what goes on down the Rec but one would think that the part of the idea would be to get the kids away from video games. At least it includes a WII Fit. A donation from a donut shop for childhood obesity prevention? Like I said, ironic.
11.
Not a bad idea but I thought that the money from the stickers went straight to Capital. Is that true or not? If so, what would they say about giving the stickers away?
12.
What's the guarantee that a separate committee is going to do a better job than the City Services Commission? Why don't they address the issue rather than creating something new to go around it? The City Service Commission members earn a small stipend; make them earn it.
13.
I'd be glad to get an update on the status of these two properties. I know that the building is in his ward but it just seems like Councilor Cardello has a lot (too much?) of an interest in the old High School. And I know its not on the piece but what's going (or not going) on with the old City Yards?
14.
Is there really any question now about what the problem with the water meters is? That said, I don't have any problem with sending an item to committee to discuss how they are going to get the problem resolved and how issues that come up until it is fixed are going to be addressed.
15.
One would think that you wouldn't need to put an item like on the agenda. However, it's probably a good way to inform all of the concerned neighbors about the status of this property all at once.
16.
Does anyone think that they'll have any better luck getting this piece implemented consistently this time than they had the last time it was on the agenda? |

“Yup, we'll do better.” What bothers me more is if the problem has been reported to City Services for a year now and the Code Enforcement Director agrees that it exists, why has it taken so long to get to this promise? You have to be happy to see, that even with Councilor Simonelli gone, his legacy is not forgotten. You can still be called up before the council on a widespread problem yet be told that “You're doing a great job!”.
8.
Big surprise. No communication from the DCR. And maybe it would be a good idea to check around before you put an item on the agenda to see if anyone else has any other info on it.
9.
Why is the rule being changed? Because they're being “inconvenienced”. So let's lay it on the table until after next special election because it affects someone in the room. What about the next guy? Perfect example of why the rule shouldn't be changed. If the times are wrong in the rule, by all means change them. But why wasn't that noted in the piece?
10.
This piece was held over two weeks for that?
11.
It was best that this piece was sent to committee. It does have some issues to work out. For example, I believe that white good pickups are scheduled when the sticker is issued. No one just rides around the city looking for items to be picked up. Oh and Councilor Hicks. I believe that TV's and computers are already considered white goods.
12.
I can't believe that the entire City Council jointed in on this piece. Make the City Services Commission do their job! And since Councilor Cardello brought the name up, isn't the Mayor's brother already a member of the City Services Commission? In fact, aren't five of that board's seven members DeMaria appointees? The good councilor might want to watch himself; he probably didn't make any friends with this piece. But I do agree with him on this, if you're going allow a piece to be reconsidered, then he has a right to speak on it.
13.
Don't you need to be invited to come to the podium to speak even if you have information that may help the discussion? And don't you think it would have been prudent when you are asked to come to speak on a subject that you make the needed inquiries before you speak, not after?
For some reason, at least to me, that meeting seemed to drag on forever even though it was only about 70 minutes long. And as I thought, I think that Councilor DiFlorio can run a better meeting without Councilor Cardello present. And where was Councilor Cornelio running off to so many times tonight? Probably not hard to guess. It was very distracting though. And why does Councilor Marcus feel that his points of personal privilege can't wait until a more appropriate time? |

I usually wait until Sunday to post my comments about the agenda but there is so little here, it just makes sense to get it out of the way now. Some of the unfinished business items or items referred back from committee might spark a little discussion. But I just don't see this meeting lasting very long. The only item that I have any new comment about is:
8. Since “"Gone are the days when something could get done in committee without the scrutiny of the public eye", it should be a no-brainer that this piece goes somewhere this time. |

| First off, one would think that the agenda for this week's meeting for a purpose. Then, practically nothing is accomplished on the few items that appear on the agenda. Maybe it's just me but I just don't agree with the proirities of most of the politicians in this city. Unbelievable. |
