As of 8:25 a.m. , no notice of special Sheriff/Police meeting on City website...

Let's say for instance that there is a meeting today "in the shade" which is not public in order to discuss contract negotiations - one of the very few things that an elected or appointed body is allowed to close its door to the public. At a minimum, there should be some sort of public posting that the meeting is taking place, where it is taking place, why it is taking place behind closed doors and who is part of the meeting.

For example, this is how the Town of Palm Beach provided notice for a closed door meeting regarding the Surfrider Foundation lawsuit. I received this as part of a blast e-mail from the Town - as everyone who signed up for that service would have. I am sure that it was available in other public places as well.


This is not about the difference of resources between the Town of Palm Beach and the City of Lake Worth. This is about the desire, or lack thereof, to notify the public of what is going on in their local government.

This is about our municipal police service. Will the public have any input at all?
