Ahhhh, much better. Thanks city council!

The council votes on the monkey crapper quality of life bonds tonight and the mayor’s office cleverly put enough different things in it to appeal to (almost) every councilor. I mean, gee willickers, who would vote against funding a new library?

Spartan hd INTRODUCTION AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCES

19.

2nd Reading:Â AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SIOUX FALLS, SOUTH DAKOTA (THE “CITY”), AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF ITS SALES TAX REVENUE BONDS IN ONE OR MORE SERIES, AUTHORIZING THE USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREOF TO PAY THE COSTS OF CONSTRUCTION AND EQUIPPING OF THE WESTSIDE BRANCH LIBRARY TO BE LOCATED WEST OF INTERSTATE HIGHWAY I-29, IMPROVEMENTS ON AND EQUIPPING OF THE RIVER GREENWAY, CONSTRUCTION AND EQUIPPING OF THE YOUTH SPORTS COMPLEX TO BE LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION OF WESTPORT AVENUE AND BENSON ROAD, AND IMPROVEMENTS AND EQUIPMENT FOR THE CITY’S ZOO, PLEDGING THE SALES AND USE TAX PROCEEDS OF THE CITY TO THE PAYMENT OF SAID SALES TAX REVENUE BONDS, FIXING THE TERMS OF SUCH SALES TAX REVENUE BONDS, AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF ONE OR MORE SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK IN SIOUX FALLS (THE “TRUSTEE”), AND AUTHORIZING THE SALE, EXECUTION, AND DELIVERY OF SUCH SALES TAX REVENUE BONDS IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $18,500,000 PLUS COSTS OF ISSUANCE AND DEBT SERVICE RESERVE FUNDS. (Quality of Life II)

I was thinking about drinking a 1/5th of Wild Turkey and showing up to chew ass, but I predict that almost all the councilors will vote yes on the loan no matter who shows up to dissent it. I have no doubt that Dr. No Staggers will vote against it, and that will be it.

I do expect some lively debate. With Vernon giving his usual ‘Everything isÂ Unicorns and Rainbows’ speech and Quen Be De telling everyone what a wonderful job every city employee does, and Bob Schlitz talking about progress and moving forward even though those two things have nothing to do with football. We will also probably here an impassioned speech from Gerald that really has nothing to do with anything.

Another evening wasted in futility.
