Agenda for December 7, 20010 City Commission Meeting

Click title for link to agenda and back-up.  Does anyone else find it strangely odd that the City Commission will be approving 12 sets of minutes dating from July at the December 7th meeting?

Here is the list:

If you're running as an incumbent, it makes it easier to hide from your record if there is no published record.  The Sunshine Law requires that minutes be available in a timely basis.  You can decide if this is timely.  Last year, the special City Commission meeting minutes where Commissioner Golden said that the city didn't need the $23 million dollar grant and chastised the CRA for making the application, suddenly appeared on the first regular meeting after the election.  The meeting was held July 20th.   The minutes only show her acknowledging that the CRA had applied for the money.  She had used the $23 million grant in the list of her accomplishments on campaign materials.  The term "let the record show" means something different in Lake Worth apparently.
