Next up for the Cincinnati Futures Commission: Pureval requests a report on the report

Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval is asking City Manager Sheryl Long and her staff to "vet and review the recommendations" in the Cincinnati Futures Commission report.

In other words, Pureval is asking for a report on the report, which was released 20 days ago.

The report, prepared by a group of business, civic and nonprofit leaders, offered a bleak picture of the city's financial future and laid out a plan for the city to grow its population and achieve fiscal stability. The Cincinnati Futures Commission report cost $2 million, $1 million of it taxpayer money.

The commission recommended the city regionalize its water system, write more parking tickets, turn two parks over to the county, lease Lunken Airport and sell its public golf courses.

The commission report also recommended raising the city's earnings tax by 0.15 percentage points, with the increase dedicated to spurring economic growth and boosting public safety.

So far the mayor and council members have been mum on specifics related to the 25 recommendations in the report.

Pureval is making the request via a motion during Cincinnati City Council's Wednesday meeting, according to the meeting agenda. It seeks to have the review done in 60 days.

Cincinnati City Council breaks for the summer at the end of June, returning in September.

"The report will allow the mayor and council to be intentional around the recommendations that require policy guidance," Pureval wrote in a statement attached to the motion.
