Special City Commission Meeting 3/24 at 10 a.m.!

It's not o.k. that this meeting is happening at 10 a.m. Here we are deciding who is going to run the golf course, talk about the casino/beach financial feasibility study and authorize an RFP for a contractor to shore up the building. The Commission will also finish up with the fire department merger pension issue.

These are big issues that deserve more public discussion that what a 10 a.m. meeting can provide. It reminds me of the 8:30 a.m. meetings held by the Affordable Housing Task Force. Apparently, this Commission does not care that the public has a right to comment and be informed/involved in what is going on. This is just plain wrong!

You would think that at least one member of the Commission would understand the importance of right to be heard on matters affecting the public. Where is Commissioner Jennings now?
