         During the draft revisions of the Mpls Charter, there was a 
proposal to change this name to "Board of Finance".  This would be a 
'snappier' name, and fairly accurately reflect what they do.  It would also 
eliminate misleading stuff from the name.  (Currently, the Board gets a lot 
of calls from people complaining that their taxes are too high, or that 
their property is assessed wrong -- things that the Board of E&T does not 
deal with.
         The main objection to this new name was that it would be quite 
similar to the City's Department of Finance, and might lead to confusion there.
