Concerning the businesses going down on lower Broadway...Anthony Raneri made a comment at the last common council meeting that "we all know the three businesses going down lower Broadway, but I wont mention them so it's doesn't look like we are picking on any one business."
Does anyone know what the three businesses are?
I don't know if anyone else travels that way but that area has been a disaster with the increased traffic, the city finally patched the craters they call potholes and so much construction going on at the same time. Terrible planing in my judgment. |

I was just reading through the agenda and I have a question on item 31. This is trivial, but, if Jason is asking for 15 minute parking, why does it say not to exceed 30 minutes? It doesn't make sense to me, am I reading it wrong?
31.
A0115-08 Ordinance/s/Alderman Jason Marcus and Michael Marchese

I wondered the same thing massdee!
I'm also curious about #13 & #14. How do they handle this with the meeting taking place after the dates in question? |

| My guess is he'll sell the flowers and everything will be rubber stamped on Monday............... The problem I have with that is that there seem to be too many occasions when people with authority pick and choose which laws/ordinances/rules they're going to follow or enforce. |

I would think that if petitioner doesn't have a license, then he can't sell. What if any of us drove without a driver's license, were stopped, and told the police that you don't have a license, but you are planning to get a driver's license next week?

FYI
The agenda for the BOA meeting that was posted on the city website and reposted here doesn't appear to match what they are using at tonight's meeting. The first two items taken were #25 and #26 on the agenda posted here; they were #26 and #27 on the agenda they are using at the meeting. |

| I'm just wondering (no pun intended) why not one of the BOA asked Erin Deveney any questions about Mr Carlisle. Every week, I hope these guys will grow a backbone, but nothing seems to change. |

| I'm not sure why they didn't ask....perhaps its because it isn't the big deal you make it out to be. |

| Isn't it interesting that the new residency ordinance for the police contains a clause that specifically doesn't require the chief to live in the city but the fire one doesn't? What's up with that? |

Would have been nice if the they got all the references to the fire commission that need to be modified in the ordinances at one time. Here are four more that weren't on the agenda posted here:
Sections 8.63(b), 8.64, 8.68 and 2.31(a)(3)(b).
But still don't want to be the city solicitor. No charge.
Sorry, I guess they won't be needing them. Nice one Wayne!
Why do I bother? I'm going to lie down now. |
