Within hours after this article was publicly available, the official city website was edited in order to eliminate the confusion that had been discussed in it. Note that the misleading naming of the individual documents I discussed in the video has not been addressed. CLICK Here for the link the City added. 

In any event, I applaud the City staff’s quick action attempting to make things more identifiable and increase the accuracy and resulting usefulness and transparency of the City’s website.

The fact remains, however, that “you can’t unring a bell”. The decision that the City Council made to raise taxes so drastically appears to have occurred over a backdrop of public confusion as to exactly what the true numbers were and without the public being able to fully identify the information they needed prior to the adoption of the new tax rate.
