Page 6 October 2011 This month’s report from Councilman Sal DiCiccio Got your latest city water bill? Shocked? Are you bothered that Phoenix imposed a food tax that paid for government employee raises? Arcadia voters will help pick the next mayor in the November run-off, and people who live elsewhere in Phoenix have council choices to make. You all have the power to stop the nonsense. In the past months, we have exposed a series of problems at city hall. I need your voice to stop these shenanigans. Here are a few: Food tax = Pay raises: You were told the money was needed to protect police and fi re positions. Fact: Phoenix gave $28 million in pay raises this year, equaling the food tax revenue. Bidding process: My of fi ce, along with a group of community leaders, looked into problems and provided solutions last year to our procurement system. The city manager failed to act on them, and you have since seen stories about potential for abuse. With no standardization and little transparency, procurement is ripe for abuse and insider dealings. Budget transparency: City Manager David Cavazos refused to release the amount of union pay raises until after the food tax was approved, the budget was approved, public hearings were conducted citywide and the union contracts were approved. The city manager still refuses to release documents related to that. False kidnapping reports: Late last year I asked the city manager to look into allegations that kidnapping reports were fabricated. Four times the public was told by management all information was audited and accurate. We later discovered that neither was true, and the feds are still investigating. Debt fund shift: Last year, the city manager’s of fi ce said the fund that repays the city’s debt obligations was seriously under-funded and the tax rate needed to go up. When the Council said no, staff shifted tax funds around so the debt repayment fund got less, and paying today’s bills got more. That will mean higher property taxes down the road. Outrageous bene fi ts: I uncovered that taxpayers fund bene fi ts for unionized public employees are much greater than what you the taxpayer get: Starting clerks get 40½ days off fi rst year. Taxpayers fund employees’ post- employment health expenses averaging $75,000 after 20 years.
