Some Springfield aldermen are still determined to hold Mayor Jim Langfelder financially accountable and intend to bring back an ordinance next Tuesday that would lower the office of the mayor s spending power.
Although it was not addressed at Tuesday s Committee of the Whole, the full city council is set to address the ordinance, which would reduce what the mayor could authorize spending-wise without council approval from $50,000 to $10,000, at next week s full council meeting.
There is also consternation over Langfelder s approval of a $47,000 expense for a building used for the Springfield NAACP s Back to School/Stay in School program. Council members thwarted an ordinance for a higher amount even though the city s Economic & Community Development Commission approved the entire expenditure for improvements.

How quickly is Ridgefield s economy bouncing back and what resources do local businesses and nonprofits need? Those are the questions leaders are asking as they work quickly to gauge Ridgefield s economic recovery.
Officials at the Economic & Community Development Commission released their latest survey Thursday to help inform town leaders about the pace of economic recovery and to pinpoint the resources needed by the business community. The survey will also help officials understand the types of issues they should advocate for, on behalf of the business community, in Hartford and in Washington.
Early data show that the outlook for Ridgefield businesses is slowly improving compared to June, with many businesses reporting modest upticks in revenue. Businesses that have embraced an online component to their operations are doing better than their counterparts.
