Part two of live blogging for Monday, February 6.

COMMUNICATIONS – CITY OFFICIALS:

CM Benedetti says that she has met with Linda Moeller and is in the process of figuring out what must be done about redistricting.

Benedetti: Downtown complaints, says that some merchants dump trash in streetside trash cans and not in dumpsters. No names are mentioned.

Benedetti: She has joined CM Zurschmiede in going to the controller in search of specific monthly financials.

Benedetti: March 1 there will be a certified budget, so the council should remain civilized until then, and then begin work.

Caesar: Spring Street Hill ... in 2008, work began on repairing it. Needs more. He is trying to find money in the State Street TIF for this project. Promised by the previous administration. Caesar lets us know he will try to clean up the mess and go where no previous mayor has gone before.

Coffey: The Spring Street work came through redevelopment previously. Engineers wanted more money and guaranteed their work, so we should go back to them and reclaim the guarantee. He goes on about the State Street parking garage and what it has generated. Now he shifts gears and begins talking about audits. Coffey is the first to wave the bloody shirt on insurance (the England executive order overturned by Mayor Gahan). Coffey launches the first 2012 demand for an audit, and says he'll gather the materials himself and get the ball rolling. "Same people who cause the problems in the same jobs."

Gonder: Asks for a monthly update on the Bicentennial. Caesar emphatically agrees.

Blair: FOP fact gathering about the contract. Three council members have met with them.

Baird: Puts the cart before the third reading's horse.

COMMUNICATIONS – MAYOR

Represented by someone we don't know; Gahan not coming tonight.

APPROVAL OF CF-1 FORMS:

More to come.
