Detroit City Clerk, The newly revised City of Detroit Charter (Sec 4-112) requires the City Clerk to post on the City's website a list of all contracts that have been approved by City Council. The list Shall include the contractor, the goods or services provided, the dollar amount of the contract, any amendments and the purchase order number. Detroit's history has been riddled by corrupt and abusive behavior by private entities that have squandered Detroit's resources for their own selfish gain. The ability for citizens to track city contracts will provide greater transparency in local government and hopefully begin a new era of honesty, integrity and accountability in the way contracts are bid and awarded. I am writing to urge you to ensure that this Charter initiative is implemented by the date required and done so in a thoughtful and effective manner.
