I previously wrote about how the city plans to hold their city council meetings at the public library since after all the library is already set up to handle such a meeting. Meet me in the stacks.
Well let me quote to you from the city’s newly issued request for proposals # 2013-090R, dated December 11, 2013. “The Main branch equipment is not adequate for hosting public gatherings, conferences, presentations and events.” The RFP is seeking bids for Library Audio/Video Equipment.
An August 7, 2012 presentation to city council suggested that city council meetings should be held at the library (read it here — slide number 25). The presentation indicated that “The cost is $0 and availability would not be an issue”.
Now it turns out that they do not have the necessary equipment.
Were they lying or are they so incompetent that they did not know the truth?
Council was lied to. Do they care? Do they know? Why do they put up with this? For that matter why don’t we make them do their jobs? City staff is out of control.
This will need to be added to the running total of the cost of moving city hall.
We deserve better

The recent Quality of Life bonds included “x” millions of dollars for the libraries. Is this new equipment going to be paid for out of those dollars?

Can I get a job with the city? It would be nice to have a job where you’re never held accountable for your actions or your incompetency. Plus, the pay and benefits are not bad either.

The request for proposals does not say what the funding source is.
