The City of Sioux Falls Licensing Department provided me this list;
Sioux Falls Charter Revision to meet Wednesday, Nov 10, 3:30 PM
The Charter Revision will be reviewing my 3 proposals and I will be present for questions. They have written preliminary language if they agree to put them on the ballot. While I did ask for 30 days for a director to become a resident, Commissioner Zylstra is recommending 6 months, which I could agree to. We will see how that plays out.
I also see that Joe Kirby is proposing that the mayor be removed from the council meetings as chair and that city council elections be decided by plurality (or ranked choice). I have never agreed with a run-off in the council races. Another bone head idea from Rex Rolfing. I have also said that the Mayor should only have VETO power and NOT break ties or run meetings. If it is a tie, the measure should fail.
The Sioux Falls City Council meets Tuesday, Nov 9 at 4 and 6 PM
The two big items under 1st reading are the wastewater bonds from the state (inevitable) and the garbage container ordinance. Neitzert is basically providing an amendment to leave it as is. I have often thought that it should be up to the consumer as to where they place the containers. If they want to place at the end of the driveway, fine. If they want to leave by house, also fine. There should be NO extra charges for a valet service. Since this will most likely remain private for the foreseeable future it should be up to the consumers to dictate what they want. As for the drivers getting injured for grabbing cans, that is part of the hazards of the job. Wear the proper footwear. My mailman wears cleated snow boots in the winter.
UPDATE: Have the Sioux Falls Police taken the weekend off?
UPDATE: The official report is the suspect Has not been arrested. One of the 3 victims may have already died. During the briefing there was conflicting stories as to what kind of weapon was used.
There should have been an emergency presser by the Police Chief & Mayor yesterday.
No, they have not, but the people working in the communications office have;
We expect to learn more about the shooting during Monday morning’s police briefing . . .
While an active investigation is going on, no one knows how many people were shot because like Orange City, Iowa we have shut down our communications and functioning government until Monday.
C’mon!
We are the largest city in South Dakota, the SFPD should have held a presser this morning about the situation on one of the busiest streets in the city.
Last I checked the SFPD is responsible for public safety, that means 24/7. Should people be concerned? I don’t know because apparently they don’t work Sundays.
I think if we defunded the police in Sioux Falls, we may not notice, especially on Sundays.
The Dead Tree version soon will be Dead
