On September 11,2024,MBU supported the original version of this ordinance,which required a supermajority vote to impede or amend capital improvement projects costing more than $1 million once they had reached an advanced stage of design (defined as greater than 60 percent completion).The intent of this requirement was to protect taxpayers from cost overruns likely to result from late-stage project delays. At the time,however,we expressed disappointment with the numerous exceptions included in the ordinance,particularly those covering major infrastructure projects such as fire stations,which significantly weakened its effectiveness.MBU SUPPORTS this amended ordinance because it is more comprehensive and directly addresses our earlier concerns.
