City Council meets tomorrow night. Nothing too exciting on the agenda. There's a vote authorizing fair days for this summer's series of Sunset Concerts. Look for Councilwoman Corene McDaniel to cast the lone "no" vote, as she typically does, since she opposed alcohol at events held on city property. Also look for her to request that one of the concerts be alcohol free, at which the Carbondale Park District representatives will nod politely and say they will look into it.
Contracts with various civic organizations will also be approved during the meeting. Likely no controversy with any of those, save for items 5.4.7, the contract with the Carbondale Convention and Tourism Bureau for $276,500. It's likely that several council members will offer proposals or recommendations for clauses they wish to see include in the in the contract with the CCTB, including a guarantee of a proportional number of city representatives on the CCTB board and an explanation from the CCTB board for their expansion of the size of the board at the March meeting. Though it was obvious why the board voted to expand, it would certainly be interesting to see the board members appear before council and offer a justification for the expansion. Expect to see pointed questions from the council and interesting turns of phrasing from the CCTB board if any of them appear before the council.
