I closed last week’s post saying I’d be taking this week off as council didn’t have a meeting but failed to note that Council actually are meeting this week for a special call meeting to vote on the Rays Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) Thursday morning at 9 AM. The meeting was at the request of Council Member Luis Viera who wants to vote on the agreement before he “turns into a pumpkin” next Monday night.
The agreement was posted to Onbase Friday evening and after reading it, I took a deeper dive into what it does and doesn’t say and went back and pulled the record on what’s been said by Viera and Council Member Naya Young as they both conditioned their funding votes on the CBA.
Suffice it to say if the agreement posted to Onbase is approved Thursday, a lot of concessions are going to need to be made.
What’s coming
The next two weeks at City Hall, from the clerk’s calendar — meetings link to the official notice once the city posts it.
