Seems a couple of high rollers in town are a little nervous some councilors are showing some muscle. They are doing the presentation below at the Charter Revision meeting on Wednesday at 4 PM.
They highlighted some interesting parts.
2.01, this makes sense and hasn’t changed since 1995.
2.04, this has changed quite a bit. The council has a large staff working for them now. Three city clerks, an operations manager and a budget analyst. (I would agree this large staff is probably not needed).
5.05, Funny, because every time the council tries to enact legislation or ordinances of their own the mayor intervenes with changes or vetos. Also, they have little to NO input on the budget. They have also been losing control of major RFPs.
If this presentation shows anything, it is that the home rule charter is extremely flawed and NOT working.
