It doesn't sound like much has/is getting done, quite frankly.  It seems like the city is still foundering after a bunch of failed proposals.

I would expect a sharp increase in "service animals" in the downtown.  And I don't understand how smoking outside can be considered a "heath issue".  I've never heard of a problem with outside second-hand smoke, that's a new one for me.

At this point I would recommend a new city manager.  I think Jon Ruiz s well beyond his usefulness to the community, if he ever was.
