A taping of the third public dialogue meeting on the proposed “2010 Salisbury Safe Streets Neighborhood Legislative Package,” held on Nov. 30, is scheduled to run tonight on cable channel PAC14 at 7 p.m. The session lasted three hours and seven minutes.
Additional airings of the meeting are awaiting the next schedule’s publication, as found under the programming link on the channel’s website, www.pac14.org. Audio CDs are also available from the city clerk’s office, 410-548-3140, for $5 to cover the cost of materials and production. The audio will also be available soon for free download at www.OnYourSideSBY.blogspot.com. The text of the legislation is available on that website, as well as on the city’s website, www.ci.salisbury.md.us, at left under the link labeled “Neighborhood Legislative Pkg.”
The series of meetings was hosted by Salisbury City Council Members Debbie Campbell and Terry Cohen to solicit public input and to provide information about the legislation, which ranges from early intervention with properties using high levels of police and code compliance services to prostitution abatement to possible zoning changes. Despite requests from the public and the two council members, as well as a formal appeal submitted by Mayor Jim Ireton in accordance with the Council Rules of Order, none of the package has been scheduled for discussion on any city council agenda by the council president.

Louise offered early on to "negotiate" with the mayor. Her offer - the tenant bill of rights and the crime-free lease addendum - two of the least effective parts when taken out of context. The rest of the package was off the table and non-negotiable, period, end of story - no discussion, no work session, no public discourse.
