elrichboy over at El Chuqueno posted this the other day:
He points out that our population has only grown by 1.1% over the last six years.
Yet our city budget grows every year.
Max Grossman pointed out that the city general fund budget has grown 24% over the last five years.

The situation we discussed in Rewriting history continues to bother me.
Recapping, city council recently had an agenda item to approve the “corrected minutes” of a city council meeting held more than 12 years ago.
None of the city representatives, nor the mayor, nor the city manager, nor the city attorney were on board at that time.
How can any of them approve minutes as being accurate when they were not involved 12 years ago?
The minutes are being “corrected” for a reason. Either someone wants something and the old minutes will not allow it, or they don’t want something that the old minutes require, is my guess.
The current group has not offered an explanation.

Item 1.1 on the Tuesday, May 28, 2019 meeting of city council reads:
| Approval of Minutes of the Regular City Council Meeting of May 14, 2019, the Agenda Review Meeting of May 13, 2019 and the corrected minutes for the Regular City Council Meeting of April 17, 2007. |
They are amending the minutes of a city council meeting that was held over 12 years ago.
Of course they don’t bother to tell us what they want to change.

Did you know about this?
Let’s see, 7 new bike share stations with 80 bikes for $720,000.
That comes to $9,000 per bike.
We deserve better
