Seems odd something so important to the city got buried to the last item (#28). (Click on the PDF’s to see documentation)
I also found some of the documentation to be a little strange. Who signed this document? (Notice the printed name is missing, and the signature is illegible. Your guess is as good as mine.
Here are a couple of articles about convention centers;
Convention Centers; It’s a race to the bottom
Is it time to stop building convention centers?
I just watched the meeting, Item #28, and as far as I can tell w/o anyone admitting it, Jeff Hazard signed the document. But who knows?
I stand corrected, it was signed by Dan Loveland from the city.
If anyone else (i.e. not a City employee) had forgotten to fill in one of the lines on a legally-binding document, would it have been accepted? It’s a small issue, but an annoying one.
I agree. Someone told me who signed it last night, and they told me he was a modest person, and that is why he did not print his name. Huh? Makes you wonder about a lot of things. Why was a low-level management person signing this anyway, and what is their trust in city government? Hazard and Huether should have had their Hancock’s on this.
That is not the signature of a modest person.
It just occurred to me, when we have had to fill out similar forms at city hall, some have been rejected out of hand because they were not filled out completely. How do we know this form was not filled out legally? The commission should have thrown out #28 because the paperwork was not ‘legal’.
Why does a city department and / or commission allow itself to break rules but fine us for less? This just shows how the city will break every rule (law) to get their $200,000,000.00 edifice built.
They get a low level city employee to illegibly sign the paperwork for the largest expenditure this little town has and may ever be able to have. When this employee has to sign it, he does not let us know who he is. His name would have totally lost to history if not for L3wis. So does the city fine itself for not properly filling out the form?
I notice there is no contact phone number either. I guess Dan isn’t important enough to have a phone in his office.
