Live Blogging: City Council Mobility Fee Moratorium & Metropolitan Park

[tufsu1]

18-0...I'm good with the compromise

[Cheshire Cat]

Now on a another bill about Metropark 2013-166.  Bishop and others do not want to discharge the bill.  Joost want's to discharge it.  Very convoluted night.

I had to step away from the computer for about 30 minutes.  So what exactly was approved on the moratorium?  Was it 18 months, beginning immediately, or is there still a 3 month ramp up period?

[Cheshire Cat]

Joost is worried about folks with contracts for future events may be negatively impacted.  They would have to abide by the 65 dec rule.  Joost says then the folks cannot have the events. 

[Cheshire Cat]

I believe it includes the ramp up.

[TheCat]

 I believe it was 18 months starting immediately.

I haven't followed local politics much in my life until the past few years, but I have never seen someone so brazenly against the constituents and for his own self promotion as Clark.  Not even on a national level. 

I am literally blown away by him.  Guy couldn't care less about anyone but himself and he's not afraid to show it.

Crescimbini says he has entered another opposing bill on this issue and does not want to discharge the current bill.

[Cheshire Cat]

I will defer to Cat on this.  lol  My belief is not as strong as his.

Bridges, I had this same thought tonight about several on council and I have followed this stuff for decades.  The way some in council view their constituents is closer to that of an enemy as opposed to an ordinary citizen with concerns.  It's really very ugly.

Its unbelievable.

But his gayloathing pals from Riverside were big helps on giving away the money to basically seven guys with bad real estate investments.  Robin Lump, Jim Love and Greg Anderson were pretty much slobbering all over themselves to hand out the cash prizes.

Its too bad that there arent any gay people, people who don't have cars, bicyclists or pedestrians in the whole of Riverside Avondale.

In Love's district.  Voted against him first time.  His position on this and Mellow Mushroom further reduced my faith n him.  Will vote against him again second time.

Oh look, Kimberly is speaking, wants bill discharged. She is worried they will remove the entertainment district portion.

[TheCat]

Clark:

We need an entertainment zone. All we are doing is band-aid. He is in favor of including Metro Park into the entertainment zone. Supports the discharge of Redman's bill.* Actually, went for the jobs talk track.* We need to give the promoters/organizers the freedom to do all they can to bring events to our city. 

[Cheshire Cat]

The Metropark Bill was not discharged.  Meeting is over.

[Cheshire Cat]

Cat was correct on the moratorium bill.
