Seldom is there a blog on a blog but I'm a bit amused about Curt's observation about downtown being cleaner than usual. It might be that the BID wasted no time buying a new street sweeper? You see, at the last council meeting it was announced that the current downtown sweeper is worn to the point of not being worth repairs. Some aldermen questioned why this was being brought up in the eleventh hour rather than as part of an equipment review that should have been done some time ago. There was some throat clearing and glances exchanged but the the bottom line was that it was needed and because the department of public works decided a couple trucks could function for another year rather than be replaced, it was voted to buy a new sweeper. Unlike the Journal reported, the vote was NOT unanimous. If the reporter was watching channel 25, the uncertainty is due to, no doubt, that the IT department claims the cost of twine and duct tape keeping the audio video equipment functioning is exceeding the cost of new equipment.
You know, city hall is looking pretty dated. Once the four new fire-stations are finished, built and relocated.....
