Stated Meeting, October 14, 2004

Were these questions asked at the hearing?

Yes, they were.

I think that we ought to know whether the person is in good tax standing with the City because there's been a number of occasions when the City's made something available in the form of contracts only to learn that the person was 10/14/04 - STATED - 2ND READING then tax delinquent. That's the reason I ask. I'm requesting that this matter be held. And if not, I will vote no because I think the procedure is weak.

I would ask for the previous question and that we vote on this bill.
