Dearest gentle readers,
If you missed tonight’s board meeting, fear not. The saga must be continued next week, the board will reconvene for a special meeting next Tuesday.
On the agenda: Site Logic bid preparations for what seems to be an endless buffet of future projects. Spend, baby, spend.
Also requiring further deliberation? Whether an employee should be paid for work already performed. Yes, truly. The board requires an additional week to determine if labor completed deserves compensation. One can only assume local employment attorneys are preparing their invoices as we speak.
But wait — the evening offered another curious development.
The district has quietly altered its public comment forms to state residents must submit, prior to the beginning of the meeting, a form stating the topic they wish to discuss. Oddly enough, the board policy referenced on said form does not actually require this.
And so, members of the public tonight were denied the opportunity to speak because they did not possess psychic abilities allowing them to predict they would hear something worthy of comment before the meeting even began.
One cannot help but wonder:
Why is this board working so hard to discourage public participation?
Consider this your invitation to next Tuesday’s special meeting. Bring your questions. And perhaps bring your own copy of the Open Meetings Act.
As always, mind the fine print,
Lady Rivertown
