Another sneaky mid afternoon meeting today...

The City Commission and Planning and Zoning Board will be meeting at 3 p.m. at Compass - supposedly a continuation of the 4/14 meeting. No agenda on the city's website, although there is a mention on the meetings and events calendar - which is one of the harder things to find on the site.

This might be a temporary issue, I hope, but meetings are not streamed via the Internet from Compass. Can someone make it a policy to not have public meetings before 5 p.m. - especially when there is no other way to hear what is going on?

What's being discussed? No official word of this, but the focus of the conversation will be "down-zoning" and including such in the city's Comprehensive Plan. Talk is of going with a maximum 35 ft. height limit throughout the city. You would think if you're restricting people's property rights it would be a good idea to let people know you are talking about it. Another cowardly act...

We need to get to a point where, regardless of the issue, the same process and notification is used for all meetings. Whether you're for or against something should not dictate the time the meeting is held or how much notice the meeting receives. To not do so is corruption of process, thus corrupting the result.
