Nice segue.
I haven't read the entire report but after working in the private sector my whole life I am hesitant to throw caution to the wind and jump into privatization based on a consultant's opinion. Yes, we might save millions by doing so. We could save millions by simply shutting off all the street lights and replacing traffic signals with 4 way stop signs. So, count me false.
Most of our city problems might also be assuaged by changing to a city manager. True or False?
I have a copy of the first KPMG and have read it. It would seem that some 10 Years later there is new recommendation costing over a million dollar reporting the same things and now as usual one needs to read it. It is well known that on Friday if one is looking for a city employee they are always in meeting.
Try to find someone in city hall that knows where the meeting is being held.
In Tulsa we have a city manager/mayor elected by the people. Does not the great charter change establish a city manager/mayor system whereas now we would change it to where 9 to 13 people would appoint the manager/mayor. Do the citizenry know the difference between a duck and a chicken? The duck is the one that waddles around, always looking for something to feed on.
Now the DA and the courts are at fault because of the apathy of the citizen to vote for a loosing cause.
It is time to implement the new study? Or shall we continue to stretch out the rope to hang ourselves with?
