I should charge them a consultancy fee. After years of babbling on about doing something with Beverley Gate, the historic hole in the ground at the top of Whitefriargate, they are finally going to give it the treatment it deserves.
Currently masquerading as a ditch where sullen-looking teenagers go to display new and exciting varieties of hats, Beverley Gate is actually a hugely significant site.
It was here that Sir John Hotham told King Charles to sling his hook back in 1642, thus starting the Civil War and changing the course of our nation's history.
If you don't want to know the result, look away now.
It ended Roundheads 1: Royal No Heads 0.
For years this under-utilised tourist honey pot has been left to drift along, an afterthought of Hull's historical offering.
If it was in York or Tewkesbury they would have built a interactive museum and concession stand over it years ago, complete with daily live reenactments of HRH Charles looking royally peeved selling commemorative pencil sharpeners for £1.75.
We have, in short, been missing a trick.
But they have finally taken notice of my common sense calls to reinvigorate this hallowed site as part of the city centre's £25m revamp.
You're welcome.
And, to be fair, they've actually gone beyond what I suggested and come up with the idea of placing two illuminated glass pillars at the entrance to Whitefriargate, recreating how the original would have looked.
Glass? I hear you cry. Are they mad?
Yes, that's what I said too, but I'm assured it's architectural glass that you can't scratch, smash or generally vandalise when you've had 18 pints of super-strength cider.
Looking at the larger picture, I think the plans to reinvigorate the city centre look pretty damn fine.
The revamp of Queens Gardens to make it more user-friendly are long overdue.
I notice there aren't any references to a Mick Ronson statue, though. Surely the unveiling of one would be an ideal way to kick off Hull's UK City Of Culture year.
The proposals for Queen Victoria Square, Trinity Square, Paragon Square, a new public square on the end of Jameson Street and a pedestrianised Humber Street all sound sensible to me – going a long way reinventing Hull as vibrant, truly 21st-century city centre.
Let's face it, a lot of it is long overdue.
Wander around some parts of the city centre – as I do every lunchtime on one of my panther-like stalks around town – and you don't have to go far to see some tired old corners, crannies and kerbs.
There is still no mention of my idea to build an Angel Of The North- esque Colossus Of Hull on the Harbour gates down at the Marina, but I'm sure that's just an oversight by the public realm planners.
I'm sure they can see it's a genius idea that would instantly transform Hull into the UK's number one tourist destination.
Hopefully, by the time the hordes descend on us in 2017 we'll have a pretty cool gaff to show to the world.
On a week when Benefits Britain was trying to portray Hull as a third-world slum populated by dopey scroungers, it's actually quite refreshing to see that there is another vision for the city out there; one that offers a more upbeat, strident and prosperous future devoid of sarky voice-overs.
Yes, Hull has its problems and its fair share of people who probably don't want to, or more likely can't, find work.
But where doesn't? I've lived in a lot worse places than Hull down the years and too often we fail to shout about the positives here.
The negative stuff is a lot easier to overlook when you have little squirty street fountains and cool lights projected onto the side of old buildings at night to distract you.
I've got no idea where they're finding the £25m they need to do all this revamping, but I'm assuming there are a lot of big sofas down at the Guildhall with a lot of loose change hidden down the back of those councillors' cushions.
