I could try to explain this in a very long blog post. But I will let you read this document yourself, AND watch the petulant city directors piss and moan about the changes. Basically it comes down to the city council having more control of the city awarding contracts, which city directors fear will slow the process. While this may be true, I support the changes because it will bring in greater oversight for the council and transparency to the public. What the council may or may not realize is that they are creating more work for themselves, but hey, that is why we elected them. Maybe they can pass a city ordinance that allows them to be paid $75 dollars every time they have to debate a city contract.
