      <![CDATA[p.s. and THIS is what I (we) mean by "dysfunctional city government." What other city council would vote on a controversial item without allowing the signed-up speakers to be heard?

      <![CDATA[Don't know if you watched the council meeting, but for their "convenience" since they'd already spoken at the last meeting, Reid failed to allow the speakers on the Imani appointment speak. The council voted on Imani's confirmation without hearing the speakers.

      <![CDATA["The council decided to approve a funding plan before the outcome of Measure I is known because of criticism that the ballot measure wasn’t specific enough for how the money is to be spent.'<br>
<br>
This sentence basically indicts the council. Their STATED reason for discussing/voting on the resolution were things like "moral obligation to discuss the budget" and "nothing to do with assuring voters there's a plan."

      <![CDATA[The resolution passed by the Council on how to distribute parcel tax proceeds is non-binding and meaningless. Scheduling a hearing on this topic the week ballots went out was also illegal electioneering.
