City Council Meeting – 5/16/2012

Hoboken City Council Meeting of May 16, 2012

Below are the meeting documents for tonight’s city council meeting. Insane the spending this city is engaging in… we have a $100 million dollar budget as it stands, and close to $20m in new bond ordinances this week above and beyond. Something is quite wrong with the way this city is being run.

City Council Meeting – 5/2/2012

Hoboken City Council Meeting of May 2, 2012

Below are the meeting documents for tonight’s city council meeting.

Millions of dollars in legal contracts. Anyone want to predict what the Hoboken budget will be in 5 years? 200 million?

City Council Meeting – 4/18/2012

Hoboken City Council Meeting of April 18, 2012

Below are the meeting documents for tonight’s city council meeting. A lot of the same topics on the agenda.

However, the city is trying to make spitting on the sidewalk an offense you can get a summons for. I really hate spitting too (it’s the only thing that can make me nauseous), but it may be going too far now! What next, tickets for not tying your shoelaces?

City Council Meeting – 4/4/2012

Hoboken City Council Meeting of April 4, 2012

Below are the meeting documents for tonight’s city council meeting. Looks like a lighter than usual meeting, with some rather pedestrian items on the block. More parking meters (and new signs), some street direction changes you might have already noticed, and a few other things we’ll bring up at a later time.

City Council Meeting – 3/21/2012

Hoboken City Council Meeting of March 21, 2012

Below are the meeting documents for tonight’s city council meeting. Some noteworthy items this week in a packed agenda: Hundreds of thousands of dollars for new “Hop” buses that hardly anyone rides (and is currently a money-losing operation for the city), more parking robots to rob drivers, the costs involved with 1600 Park have crept up over 50%, “friends with benefits” breaks for the uptown YMCA to dodge permit expenses on their new project, and again with gobs of legal expenses for the administration.

That, is on top of MILLIONS more in bonding for various projects that should have been included in the municipal budget. In other words – kicking the can down the road once again.

And finally – the city (or should we say Mayor Zimmer and her Husband Stan) once again finds a way to give Michael Lenz a job in the Mile Square. This time on the Rent Leveling and Stabilization Board. Holy crap, this guy just won’t get his hands out of Hoboken politics! They would appoint him CITY HALL JANITOR just to give him an excuse to be in the building secretly advising everyone what to do.

Funny thing is – that it was Michael Lenz himself that once said “Never hire a friend, relative or crony.”

City Council Meeting – 3/7/2012

Hoboken City Council Meeting of March 7, 2012

Below are the meeting documents for tonight’s city council meeting: Again with millions in legal expenses and the Hoboken Lunch Truck debacle is up for second reading. The budget is being introduced as well. Also making an appearance again is Tony Soares up for re-appointment to the toilet North Hudson Sewerage Authority.

The city will be patting (no pun intended) themselves on the back for the shenanigans that took place last weekend during Hoboken LepreCon.

And finally in the “rumor mill,” got word that the city is considering nominating Laura Keating to the Business Administrator position. Keating is the wife of Michael Lenz (who has a very storied history in Hoboken political circles.) One resident I spoke with said “this is the most obvious puppet position I’ve ever seen, beating even that of the current Mayor!”
