Please help me to understand

I think that I'm reading this right. The city paid these codes stipends by mistake (we knew this). These stipends were based on the codes dept reaching a fund threshold from FIRE INSPECTION fees. Apparently these fees were lowered this year by the CC? Then Roefaro's rubber stamp committee lowered the respective threshold? Convenient. Would this have been the course of action if these hadn't already been paid out?

Does Mayor Roefaro have ANY idea about what goes on in this city? HE approved shelling out $22,500 IN BONUSES to people who failed to do their jobs SO poorly that it cost 4 people their lives?

Notice how Roefaro as usual won't answer any questions? No, Roefaro doesn't have any idea what's going on. He's too busy running his business. He's an absentee mayor, who should resign. He has got to be the worst mayor this city has ever seen, bar none. Look at the financial mess that is New Hartford. That's where Utica is headed. The result of incompetence, laziness, corruption, & all the rest. It's only a matter of time.

"Despite his “yes” vote a week earlier, Morehouse was unaware of the agreement when the O-D contacted him Wednesday. After reviewing it, he called back to criticize the agreement.

Morehouse said he took responsibility for not understanding what he was voting on and pledged to pay more attention in the future."

"took responsibility"? How about writing a check for the difference then?
