We, the undersigned, ask Mayor Tutunjian and the Troy City Council to reallocate portions of the $320,000 of Troy Redevelopment Foundation monies, now slated for use in advertising City events, for the hiring of more Code Enforcement Officers.

(Signers: Please sign this petition and pass the address along to concerned friends, neighbors and representatives!)
===============================================================
Background: From Mayor Tutunjians 2008 State of the City Speech, we quote:

"I am proud to announce tonight that the City of Troy, along with the Troy Redevelopment Foundation, have come to an agreement to fund a marketing and promotion campaign that will focus more than $320,000 in advertising on the City of Troy alone, and will not cost the taxpayers in Troy one penny."

=======================================================

We are in agreement to use part of the $320,000 to support advertising efforts but believe Code Enforcement is of greater need and concerns to Troys future.

We the undersigned would like part of the $320,000 to be used first to hire more Code Enforcement Officers.

We thank the Mayor and the City Council for the time and consideration in addressing our concerns.
