This is what I said 4 days ago:

My prediction as follows:

There will not be a power point presentation

There will not be documents with financial information available to the public

THERE WILL NOT BE A QUESTION AND ANSWER SEGMENT

PLACE YOUR BETS

4 DAYS AGO

This was a major mistake. The city is set up with robo calling. The residents should have been notified several times in advance that this meeting was taking place. It was docketed at the very last minute in accordance with open meeting rules. There was no visual presentation, there were no documents to take home and study, there was no question and answer segment. MAJOR MISTAKE.

Now the city council needs to release the 5 year study which was performed by YKSM. They need to hold several town hall meetings and allow residents to comment and ask questions. They need to put forth (and be honest) what strategy (strategies) they are reviewing and present how these tactics will impact the residents. This should be performed by each council member in each of their wards to give every resident the opportunity to understand the dire financial condition this city is in. (which by the way, myself and Cushman have been screaming about for years). Also this action will ensure that each councilman understands the financial condition of the city which as of now it is crystal clear that they don't.

In the absence of the above taking place immediately, you will see a cover up and a kicking of the can down the road, only to be proceeded by a max tax increase and also a huge supplemental tax increase. Mark my words, it is going to happen.
