Bloomington City Council Roundup

The Bloomington City Council is looking at ways to increase its efficiency and productivity. At Monday's Committee of the Whole Meeting, Alderman David Sage backed away from his original proposal, to limit the mayor's power to put items on the council agenda. Instead, Sage said he wants to hear ideas from the rest of the council about how to best stick to a specific plan of action that has support from the majority, how to handle amendments to the plan with majority council support, and the how to make sure that council decisions stand.
