Sioux Falls Council Meeting Tidbits (7/21/2015)

At the Land Use meeting we will get an update on the Billboard review commission.

At the informational we get an update about SIRE. Hopefully they will tell us that it will be working soon.

The council meeting is full of all kinds of specialness;

Items#12-13 gives us an update on all the people they had to mow and trim trees for. What I find ironic about this is we had to make this a part of the public record (which is fine) but we have yet to receive a full audit on who built the Events Center and a list of ALL of the contractors and what they were paid. But hey, at least we know we had to charge Joe Bob Smith $23 to mow his grass.

Items#21-33 lots of important 1st readings. Including transit fare increases, a TIF update, and many rezoning items.

Item#34 is a resolution of legislative priorities by the council. While I agree with some of the legislation suggestions, a lot of it is will-nilly and never could become law, for instance;

The Sioux Falls City Council supports cooperative activities between county and municipal governments, the protection of existing joint activities, and elimination of barriers that hinder the creation of such arrangements.

There is nothing currently preventing the two entities from working together. It is a matter of will not law.
