Hood Council Note: Hood Council Report


The new term will begin soon and Ayanna asked us all to submit a council report of our tasks and recommendations.



My goals for the term:




  • Build upon the current business laws: done, a very intensive law has been drafted and approved


  • Revisit taxes and find an easy system to deduct taxes and fees: done, taxes are now taken every simMonday. Residents must obtain thier payment invoices by this simFriday and set-up the payments to the hood council. This makes the payments automatic, need to determine where the payments will go.


  • Establish a program for Small Business Loans: not done


  • Build a Community Memorial Gardens: done and successful


  • Revamp Celebration Park: done, but a bit crowded with the new features, may have to build a second park



Recommendations:




  • Might need to divide tasks a bit more. It is difficult to manage the real estate of the hood, especially things like parks, however do not see a clear way to divide the tasks as of yet, except to have more resident input or maybe hire a part-time consultant to control the real estate issues of the hood since this isn't a full time issue.


  • Financial Director Tasks: Oversee hood finances, implement taxes and welfare support. Coordinate local trades and import based on needs of the community, oversee local businesses and associated laws, collect taxes and fees from residents.


  • Real Estate Consultant Tasks:Manage community lots, construction of new homes and destruction of homes. Manage the local real estates and architectural planning of the hood, including any community lots, general beautifying and landscape community gardens, recreation areas and health of animals and native plants.
