Don’t call me

If you take a look at the city web site you can eventually find a phone number for city council and city management staff.

There are also links that take you to pages that let you send your anonymous comments.  This blog has a “Contact the city” button at the top of the page that will give you a list of links.

You might find it interesting that the most junior member of the team, the chief financial officer, does not provide a phone number.  Evidently she does not want to talk to us citizens.

This is the same chief financial officer who has made those horrible financial presentations about the ball park and the move of city hall in front of city council.  She said that the move of city hall would cost $33 million.  We are now over $70 million just using numbers that the city has made public.  When this open records mess is resolved we will undoubtedly see the number rise.  Remember the $50 million dollar ball park.  The public number is now over $62 million.  I plan to post an article soon that will show how even that number is in fact low.  Then as the project progresses we will learn about the money that the city is spending from other funds to build things around the ball park.

Maybe this makes clear why she does not list a phone number.

We deserve better

    There are some psychological studies that show if it takes more then three clicks to accomplish something, the user will lose interest. That is why it takes so many clicks to get to company “Feedback” areas on many websites.

    rather terrifying that this woman is now one of the “managers” of the largest taxing entity in the region, no?
