Matt can you listen to the little people???


 

I wanted to get everyone's ideas on their top things they would like to see the mayor do to make the city better.  I am pretty sure someone from his office reads this blog.  So we can see if he entertains the people he serves or outsiders that visit or just leads from the top.  I am confident he wont do any of the suggestions mentioned. My top 5 in no particular order.

1. Fix Streets- they are awful

2. Secure the Parks so no one is hurt or worse. 

3. Use remaining $8-10 Mil ARPA money set aside last budget to improve the existing APD and AFD facilities, rent a space for patrol that meets needs, stop the idea of new police and fire stations.

4. Ask the HR department and Controller to complete a top-down review of inefficient positions and eliminate all unnecessary positions including those ARPA funded ($1.2million savings in ARPA alone)

5. Do an audit of all the city owned vehicles that are used as take home cars?  I know for a fact there are rules being broken on who should have them and their specific usages.

I offered 5 requests, and left plenty of room for everyone elses.  Lets hear them.  Dont hold back. I rarely moderate any comments.

Where do I start Abe?
The problem with this Mayor is he only cares about himself and his future.
He Destroys homeless camps.
He has a police chief that allows his officers to commit crimes.
He gets Unnecessary raises for his staff and other city personnel.
He is trying to float this mega bond to build a New Police and fire stations for what reason?
With the ridiculously high pensions and all this frivolous spending the city will be bankrupt in a few years.
The city is doomed.
