Council will spend $1.4 Million with no public discussion 2.2.

One person has already written me that all but one item on agenda are consent items. Consent items are not discussed or deliberated on....just voted on Aye or Nay.  So even though the council has started streaming video of council meetings....there will be no discussion on any except the last item! 

Supporting documentation is the audit story listed on the boards also.

On a positive note: the city's mobile sign trailer was on I/B/ Blvd near 9th on Tuesday evening announcing the council meeting. Thanks to citizen Chuck Quesenbury aka POP Quiz for suggesting it and thanks to new City Manager Andy Hall  for actually making public works do it.  These are positive steps for the community that should be noted.  BIG STEPS ! Exercise you Constitutional Rights. If you have a question or a beef you can fill out a speakers slip before the meeting and give it to the clerk. You can speak for 3 minutes and get it off your chest...and also be on streaming video so even your friends and neighbors who could not attend can see and hear both you and the City Council.  If you don't exercise your rights....YOU LOOSE THEM.
