Is there a medium for taxpayers to record or voice their suggestions for improvements in the city?

Aug 24, 2020 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,
Some years ago, I wrote a letter to the press advocating that the Mayor and City Council adopt and put in place the payment of city taxes by Escrow Account. This methodology I suggested could be implemented with regard to new house mortgages for which taxes are to be paid to the Council. I have not heard the City Treasurer giving any consideration to the suggestion, and why not?
In my letter to the press published on 5th July, 2020 on the matter of irritants which I experience and which I blame the Mayor and City Council for, I had referred to the twinning of the City of Stonecrest, Georgia, USA and the City of Georgetown, Guyana. I now ask where in the operation of our City Council is there a medium for taxpayers to record or voice their suggestions for improvements in the city. I strongly request that those suggestions be addressed at open fora of the Council.
Editor, since I recently saw in the press an article regarding the threatened publication of errant city taxpayers, I would readily agree that the threat be carried out. It would certainly embarrass defaulters into paying, whereby the revenue of the City Council will be surely increased.
Yours sincerely,
Aubrey Alexander
(Ret’d Dep. Director of Civil Aviation)
