Item 24: TAX INCREMENT FINANCING (TIF) PROJECT PLAN RESOLUTION 24. RES. 2024-0975 – Res. that, the Central Park Plaza - The Duo - Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Redevelopment Project Plan, for the redevelopment project site located at 222 South 15th and 201 South 16th Streets, which proposes the complete rehabilitation and repurposing of this redevelopment site into approximately 707 new apartment units, approximately 16,000 square feet of commercial space and over 550 parking stalls, and authorizes the City’s participation through the allocation of TIF in an amount up to $26,449,080.00. The lack of our “expensive lobbyists” doing their job will cost the Omaha taxpayers approximately $3.5 million dollars. Instead of big corporations getting a tax break, why not the Omaha citizens get a tax break, reduce the “restaurant” tax? ========================================================================== Why do the same companies keep on receiving Omaha City contracts? ========================================================================== Check out the Douglas County Election Commission website: https://www.votedouglascounty.com/ =========================================================================== Check out BLUE Dot White Dudes for Harris - Walz https://youtu.be/8WLNHARzb8c

Item 49 and Item 50: Are items 49 and 50 on Tuesday’s September 24, 2024 City Council Agenda more backdoor antics of the Omaha Mayor Stothert and Omaha Municipal Land? We GOTCHA you! ============ Item 51: Rick Fulton stated in his letter of opposition, “When you vote today on the ordinance to lower the occupation tax levied against telephone companies by the city, remember this change cost Omaha over $3.5 million in just one year.” “What I heard about the discussion in Lincoln over LB1023 was that it flew under the radar for Omaha’s Senators, and the new lobbying firm (Kelley Plucker LLC) the city hired last year (at great expense, $200,000.00+) fell down on the job, not notifying (lobbying) the legislature on this bill.”

THE MESSAGE IS SIMPLE AND CLEAR, THE COMMUNITY IS DEMANDING JUSTICE! THE FAMILY WANTS, AND THEY DESERVE JUSTICE FOR THE UNJUSTFIED KILLING OF THEIR LOVED ONE!

Black August is an annual commemoration. A time to remember Black political prisoners, Black freedom struggles in the United states and beyond. A time to highlight Black resistance against racial, colonial and imperialist oppression. It takes place during the entire calendar month of August.

Hello, On July 30th 2024, nine members of the public attended an Omaha City Council meeting in person during work hours to give public comment in opposition of Ordinance 43933, the Omaha 'City Council Code of Conduct." Public comment provided good points, suggestions and perspective. Letters of opposition were mailed as well. Despite it all, the City Council voted to move forward with the ordinance, without any changes or edits, in a 6 to 1 vote. The purpose of this petition is for the Omaha City Council to listen to the public and reconsider the passage of this ordinance. To host more townhall meetings with the citizens of Omaha before placing on the 2025 ballot. Based on 2023 Nebraska Revised Statutes, Chapter 14 - Cities of the Metropolitan Class, 14-211 - Ordinances; when effective; repeal by referendum; procedure gives the citizens of Omaha the right to petition an ordinance passed by the Omaha City Council. According to NE Statute 14-211, the deadline is August 22nd at 4:30pm to turn in 1,901 signatures from voters for the City Council to reconsider. If successful, and the City Council decides not to reconsider the ordinance, then the City Council will have to provide it to the public as a ballot measure. This is all happening very quickly, signature pop ups will be sporadic.
