New Rochelle City Council Meeting Tuesday June 14

There are some real interesting things on this Tuesday’s agenda.The city mgr.is asking council for an extra $5,000.00 to pay for lawyer fees for the redistricting plan.The law firm that the deocratics on council voted for the firm of Harwood feffer llp Randolph MClaughlin sudmitted a bill for 17,965.00 the city mgr.says in a letter to council that the firm reduced that bill to 10,000.Why does the city now have to pay this after the 4 democratics on council only agreed to spend 5,000.Some tough questions should come from council members on this.Another item is the sale of the church on North Avenue next to the police station.In the agreement this can only be used as a church so why is it that the city is going to let the church use 100 parking spaces in the city hall lot on nights and weekends?Is there something else to this church are they going to have a social hall for parties and other events?Why the need for so many spaces.Another item on the agenda is the police department is asking that no U-turns on North avenue between pelham road and eastchester road.Why not make it all of North Avenue.There seems to be a typo in this draft the police ask for no U-turns from Pelham road to eastchester rd. But the resolution asks for all of North ave.Let’s just wait and see what happens.You can comment on these items and other city council agenda items at citzens to be heard.Starting at 7;30pm tuesday night city hall council chambers. UPDATE-Only St. paul asked a question on the lawyer fees the deocratics just sat there and said nothing.I can’t understand it why if the city mgr. was given a order he did not see it through why was it so much money where is the receipt to show the public all the work this firm did.On the church issue the question was never asked if there would be special events going on like parties etc. etc. WAS the landlord next door asked if they could purchase the property?The no U-turns on north will go from Pelham rd. to Mill rd.
