Excuse me, the Court of Common Council (how British sounding!) will be meeting on Monday to secure the righteous excellence of Hartford. Here are selected items for your previewing pleasure:

2. MAYOR PEREZ, with accompanying resolution de Authorization to accept the COPS 2008 Secure Our Schools (SOS) Grant Program from the United State Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) for state of the art surveillance and communications equipment.

Because surveillance is always the answer.

3. MAYOR PEREZ, with accompanying resolution de Authorization to accept COPS 2008 Universal Hiring Program (UHP) Grant from the United States Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) to hire additional Police Officers.

Oh, and also putting more armed people around us. That’s also the answer.

5. MAYOR PEREZ, with accompanying resolution de Authorization to accept funds from the Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) for Juvenile Review Board to channel Street Smarts into Business Smarts.

More #5, less #2 & #3

6. OPERATIONS, MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET COMMITTEE, with accompanying substitute resolution de Allocation of funds from the Civic and Cultural Account and execute a contract agreement with the Parkville Business Association for the maintaining and continued regeneration of the Parkville area.

13. OPERATIONS, MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET COMMITTEE, with accompanying resolution de Identifying funds for public cemetery improvements.

See Urban Compass for cemetery photos.

14. OPERATIONS, MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET COMMITTEE, with accompanying resolution de Identifying CDBG Recaptured Funds for the renovation of the West End Community Center.

Maybe start by getting new management that have vision and follow-through.

20. OPERATIONS, MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET COMMITTEE, with accompanying substitute resolution de Identifying unspecified funds to provide partial funding to enhance the outreach capability of the Hartford Organizing for Power and Equality (HOPE).

Oh, these silly community organizers. They just aren’t as effective as mayors.

35. Resolution de Reimbursement by City employees if fined by Freedom of Information Commission.

A city employee fined by the Freedom of Information Commission? That’d never happen.
