This is the ordinance that was introduced as $5 a month for &#39;revenue shortfalls&#39; and then changed in EFC Committee for &#39;Fire Protection.&#39; <br /><br />After passage Tuesday, an emergency meeting was called for Saturday, Sept 19, 2009.<br /><br />Is this a new way of passing ordinances? where is this written in the Home Rule Charter that the council can pass one ordinance on a Tuesday and then revisit after passage -- and not only change their vote, but substantially and fundamentally change the ordinance [without the required introduction, advertising and public hearing]? <br /><br />are the fees dedicated to certain services? <br /><br />if you own a business or apartments and are required to pay for your own dumpster, do you double pay for sanitation?SJKnoreply@blogger.com
