We are 50 year residents of this fine city. We are very proud of our public libraries. We did not appreciate the council majority move to take away the selection of books process from our educated and trained librarians and turn it over to rank amateurs. The attempt to privatize our library system reeks of more possible corruption. We are against privatizing our library system. Agenda 24-194 Increasing the number of permits for selling safe and sane fireworks from 15 to 16. Now that is all fine and dandy! How about getting the HB Police and Fire Department to enforce the law prohibiting the discharge of highly unsafe fireworks into the skies of our city every 4th of July? It is,a battle zone every year and its a simple matter of citing the perpetrators that set them off with a very expensive citation. There has to be a city ordinance against these actions in place now. Are you waiting for some homes and businesses to burn down before responding? Agenda 24-160 A three year contract costing the city$750,000 for liability claims and processing. That sounds like it should be the job of our city attorney and his team.. Didn't he get a healthy pay increase above what his predecessor earned. I understand he also increased his staff as well. Three quarters of a million dollars is to much for our taxpayers to pay for something they already pay for. We are against the approval of this contract. Agenda 24-188`. A three year professional services contract for production and management of the 4th of July Parade. Our parade,the Largest 4th of July west of the Mississippi,has been outstanding in all the years we have attended. There is no reason to turn it over to a private company. Our parade is well managed,well attended and enjoyed by all! Do not turn it over to another entity. ' It is NOT broken, so no need to fix it!- Again spending more of our tax dollars!
