The City Clerk then has five more days to report <br />to the Council, and at that point if there are sufficient signatures, the Council must call an <br />election at the earliest date permitted by state law, which means no sooner than 60 days, and <br />then only on certain Tuesdays each month -- it looks like the recall election would be in <br />June."<br /><br />---------------------------------<br /><br />By my delicate math, and per the above, the recall attempt has failed.<br /><br />Twenty days from February 15, 2005 would be (13 days in Feb, 7 in March) March 7, 2005 <br />(day before yesterday). The City Clerk has failed to [properly] certify the signatures on the <br />petition. ( If a slip is good enough for the Charter Ammendment, it would seem to work here.) <br />The additional 10 days cannot now be invoked. <br /><br />At best, the process needs to begin anew.<br />[end of quote]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9145562.post-1110321517700153662005-03-08T14:38:00.000-08:002005-03-08T14:38:00.000-08:00NICE ju-jitsu move on today's Reform Alliance use ...NICE ju-jitsu move on today's Reform Alliance use of Parlimentary procedure:<br /><br />The old Tried-and-True "Lack of a Quorum". <br /><br />I think that's EXACTLY how the Reform Alliance FIRST introduced themselves to the new City Council about this time last year......<br /><br />The Cockroach Caucus may wish they had their erstwhile Ally Sam "The Sham" Roop back on the City Council.<br /><br />Now, the Cockroaches are stymied until they get their man/woman/insect nested in District Council #5.<br /><br />Keep the Bug Spray handy......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9145562.post-1110224504051011212005-03-07T11:41:00.000-08:002005-03-07T11:41:00.000-08:00Ex-Councilor Sullivan must remember......

All of this is one of the fascicles that went undetected by the voters in the amending of the charter. There are many outright frauds carried on behind the doors of city hall. This is why this recall must prevail as in the future councilors might ask for an independent audit on how the citizens tax money is squandered <br /><br />The council number of those in attendance by the charter is 5 members to make a quorum and three is all that is required to pass most questions.<br /><br />The promotion of the bond issue is underway with millions for flood control. The 130,000 plus water meters produce monthly over 3/4 of a million dollars that is dedicated to Storm Water Management. No one questions why we still have flooding in a normal rain but they want another 32 million dollars to send down the same sinkhole without any councilor questioning it. If you build in a floodway you should be responsible for your action and not expect those who build on higher grounds to correct your negligence. Proper planning of the flood plains can only control flooding. <br /><br />The recall councilors seem to be getting more support opinions from citizens, weary of being pushed around by outsiders. The sleeping citizens need to wake up and exercise their right to elect and support the councilor of their district. The councilors need a longer stick to push that ice cube out of the way and get on with the problems at hand. And they are many along with the many unanswered questions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9145562.post-1109994931910116962005-03-04T19:55:00.000-08:002005-03-04T19:55:00.000-08:00Yeah, let's put his replacement on the ballot, too...Yeah, let's put his replacement on the ballot, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9145562.post-1109994808428087522005-03-04T19:53:00.000-08:002005-03-04T19:53:00.000-08:00What process is involved in bringing Concilor Sull...What process is involved in bringing Concilor Sullivan's lack of legal footing to call any meeting...being that he's no longer really a Councilor?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9145562.post-1109994583448604242005-03-04T19:49:00.000-08:002005-03-04T19:49:00.000-08:00I propose an email and blog campaign to Councilors...I propose an email and blog campaign to Councilors, Mayor et. al. to express outrage that this meeting is intentionally being held at a time when most cannot attend, cannot be televised and cannot be held at the regular location.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9145562.post-1109993774225010822005-03-04T19:36:00.000-08:002005-03-04T19:36:00.000-08:00It's not clear to me why the Proposed Charter Amme...It's not clear to me why the Proposed Charter Ammendment cannot also be placed on the May 10th ballot?<br /><br />All I've heard is "next year" now, but don't know why that is.<br /><br />Seems a simple lack of quorum would halt the efforts to certify the recall patitions.

Couldn't find a parking place in downtown vacinity.<br /><br />4. Mayor is against the recall, why bother?<br /><br />3.

It is also interesting that the only person who could vote on the recall petition (without a conflict) to be put on May 10th is Councilor Henderson. It is also apparent that the Mayor could withhold his signature to keep the recall off the same election since he says he does not support the recall.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
