The Sioux Falls Parks and Recreation Department decided to spring a major swimming pass rate increase on the City Council 23 hours before the June 9, 2015 Informational. No notice, no participation or consultations were considered in bringing this to the Council. The administration shows once again it has so little regard bordering on contempt for our elected legislative body if feels emboldened to do it once again.
This meeting is one of the best mash-ups we have ever witnessed between the Council and the secretive Sioux Falls city administration.
Why must everything the administration gets involved in have to be so secretive. The veil of secrets is going to be the mayor’s downfall yet.
We give the Q&A portion of this meeting to you complete and unedited because every member of the council asked more questions then we citizens could have asked for. Congratulate them the next time you see any of them and thank them for the demonstration of how a legislature is supposed to work.
I’m hoping councilors and city administration reads here. Anderson is right. A service provider paid from out of state pays no sales tax. Uber and others are exempt from regulations. They’ll come to town without notice and ignore all communication with city hall. They’ve escaped everywhere in the US and around the world.. Why would Sioux Falls be an exception.
Uber is an 80 billion dollar empire. I’d love to see the city stop their drivers (false arrest) or start legal action. Either will cost millions in litigation. Uber doesn’t lose anywhere. They cant afford to. City regulations are weak and irrelevant. There’s a history of won or dismissed court cases because ordinances are proven unconstitutional.
to recap, pool increases must be voted on NOW, and we need meetings, consultants, and studies before MMM will endorse free bus passes.
Another recap. It has already been estimated that this free summer pass might cost $5,000 a year. All of a sudden we must be fiscally responsible. As an aside, the city donated $500,000 to the huether matche pointe scam without a blink of an eye by mmm.
