Looks likes Huether’s inaugural city council meeting has an interesting item on it

I have requested from the city what the specific changes will be in the ‘competitive’ bid process, and of course this is a first reading (which means they won’t vote on it Monday night). But I found it very interesting that they would throw this in the lap of the new council and mayor so soon, it almost seems to me they want to sucker them into a ‘Yes’ vote before anyone questions the changes. There has been rumors about how bids were done during the Munson administration, mostly unfounded, even though it seemed the same contractors were putting in the bids all of the time. Two things that happened raised my eyebrows though. The middle of the night decision to have a 100% increase in funding to Phillips to the Falls and how the Pavilion’s window contract came in almost $300,000 less then first estimated. Things that make you go hmmmm. I hope the new council and mayor ask a lot of questions Monday night.
