The Charter Revision Commission met for a whole whopping 7 minutes yesterday. In fact the meeting was so brief, a city councilor showed up right before it ended, and an AL reporter showed up as the members were walking out.
There was quite a bit on their agenda though. (don’t be fooled by the SIRE video link, like an old Chrysler in the winter, apparently they have to let SIRE video run for about 15 minutes before the meeting starts, heck and it is even Summer, I suspect this winter they will have to rev’r up about 45 minutes before a meeting starts!)
Here’s a synopsis;
No one from the public had any input.
No directors showed up to comment.
One councilor (Rolfing)Â showed up, but was late and did not comment.
So onto the agenda (the first part took about 3 minutes)
The city attorney, Fiddle-Faddle decided that the only thing that was important were items 2.02 & 3.02, something to do with 3 days in a month, meetings, blah, blah, blah.
The CRC decided that all other items could wait until a new CRC is appointed, and were unimportant. What I couldn’t figure out was who put these ‘other’ items on the agenda? No one really had an answer.
A very strange meeting, and a pretty lazy CRC. But when you get your ass handed to you, you tend to be a little gun shy.
