March 1st City Council Meeting

Let’s dive right in!

Hour 1

In which I get way too much mileage out of Poltergeist jokes.

Hour 2

In which sewage sludge threatens the aquifer.

Hour 3.5-4.5

I was yelling at my computer monitor.

Less contentious things

The Arts Master Plan is approved. The Activity Center will get air purifiers. The Firefighters agree to a 2% raise, because city funds are tight, while SAMPOA split off and was not cooperative.

In the last twenty minutes, Shane Scott and Jude Prather had three agenda items, all of which they postponed because it was getting late. All three seem to be petty pot-shots at Max Baker: time limits on discussing topics, revisiting current rules of decorum, and how all city council members should show up in person. All of these put etiquette above the hard work of self-governance, and hopefully they’ll get briskly swatted down..
