Is the city serious about it’s stated goals?

One of our readers sent a link to this web page with two  good questions.  Following the link we got this display:

calltothepublic

If you wish to speak at a council meeting, the city requires that you sign up in advance.  The questions asked were “Why is this online sign-up only available for limited hours prior to weekly council meetings?” and  “Another tactic to limit public comment?”

Many of us believe that the recent initiative to require three members of city council to sponsor an agenda item will limit public discussion too.

Is the city following their goal number 5:  “Promote Transparent and Consistent Communication Amongst All Members of the Community”?

We deserve better

  1. Just like government on the State and Federal levels, more and more our City begins to function as an oligarchy, too.

    Ah, but it does not say “promote transparent and consistent communication between the city and the community!” We can talk to each other all we want to. Just don’t try to talk to the Powers That Are.
