Franklin Common Council Meeting 10/07/08 ~ In the Race

#1
Mayor Taylor introduces his Veto; Alderman Olson responds, Alderman Skowronski makes a Motion to Table
10:00
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#2
Alderman Wilhelm makes her opinion known in favor of non-profits and gives her prepared speech and is in favor of Tabling
4:00
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#3
Alderman Sohns mentions the fees are not revenue generated and also rejects the idea of “soft costs,” discusses tax pledge; Alderman Taylor mentions numerous emails he received, how he takes offense to some of them from one group, brings up the fact that city staff is always working hard, City Attorney clarifies motion…Alderman Taylor says he will override Veto and rejects Motion to Table.
6:46
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#4
Alderman Solomon speaks of emails he also received. He, too, brings up the fact that there are no soft costs, and breaks some of the costs down. Alderman Olson mentions some of his emails said the Alderman are anti-volunteer, and that is not true. Alderman Skowronski again wants to table this and says this is the first time people are hearing about it…Alderman Taylor says again, it is illegal…override the Veto.
8:00
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#5
I won’t even explain this section of the tape…sometimes it’s better to not say anything.
I will say though, that twice during the night the Mayor says he believes he knows how the vote is going to go before it is taken….I can’t believe he even goes there.
6:33
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#6
A long discussion regarding the Alderman Skowronski motion…and the order he made the motion….then the vote is taken..after the Mayor says “my Veto probably has four votes to override,” and then Alderman Sohns unofficially flip-flops (even the Mayor had the inclination he was voting No…) On this Council you don’t necessarily vote the way you believe your constituents would want you to vote. At the last minute you change your mind because someone throws out a motion and you admit you want to see other people work on it…Go figure.
So there you have it…Veto stands…with an immediate discussion on how to deal with it because fee waivers are “illegal.” Just another day in Franklin.
Oh, and feel free to make violations…the Mayor and Alderman Sohns think it’s fine. You just heard it.
