Webs asked "why did Eason have to run the department?" With a grin I quote from http://cityofflint.com/mayor/cityadmin.asp:

quote:
City Administrator

The City Administrator is appointed by the Mayor and, in his role as the city�s chief executive, is responsible for implementing City policies and ensuring that the community is served in a responsive manner.

The Office of the City Administrator has overall responsibility for the management and implementation of policies, rules and regulations promulgated by the Mayor.
The City Administrator's office is also directly responsible for several programs and projects of citywide importance, including:

* Organizational effectiveness
* Strategic planning
* Best practices & process improvement
* Intergovernmental relations
* Records management
* Support staff
* City Budget & Financial Planning

Must assume it also includes duties set forth in the city charter and code.

What places are those ? if they aint gang bangers then they are bikers which is just as bad just a diff color......

Actually come to think of it a lot of bars in Flint often have people chillin in the parking lot. I haven't heard about bikers going around shooting people up in Flint. When I read the paper it does seem like young black males are way more "trigger happy" than the white bikers. I think I've been to most every bar south of the river except the State bar.

It happened tonight. Eason told council he had been working 3 positions and was stretched too thin, Then he ststed he needed to have a Director of DCED. Remember this is a position the city claimed no longer existed after Tracy was made Superintendent.

Later after Wendy Williams helped make the presentation, jackie Poplar dropped the bombshell that Wendy was to be the new director of DCED and asked if it was a conflict-of interest. Williams finally admitted it was true.

How will the City be able to afford both a Director and a Superintendent. And if tracy was Superintendent of the department, why did Eason have to run the department?

Another issue is Lawlers desire to make the metawaunenee plan part of the master plan.

!) The process of making this area a historic district cannot be made by council and that is a key element of the plan;
2)The making of a historic district is the purview of the state and only after a lengthy time-consuming and tedious process.(much of the area will not qualify)
3) The desire of the Metawaunenee Hills group to receive state and federal funding may require a Citizens District Council and the city already has CDC's that are not receiving such funding.

The city needs to concentrate on reducing the deficit.

Ted- the Judge said specifically she was paid from a lawsuit settlement. The only one I could think of is the Cox v Countrywide case.
The check registers show her being paid by the city of Flint (now that the check register is fixed).
A FOIA should show what account the check is being written from and what resolution and contract is in place. I believe she would have to be a contractual employee at least.
