Commissioner Comments and Reports from last night's (4/21) meeting...

This is a must watch portion of last night's meeting. First, we begin with Commissioner Maier's description of the train horn problem. It's right at the beginning, so it is hard to miss and it is part of his report from the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council meeting. Usually, the portion of the meeting dealing with Commission comments and liaison reports is pretty mundane and lasts maybe 15 minutes in total. This one lasted a little short of an hour.

The downhill slide starts at the 10:20 mark of the first video when Commissioner McVoy brings up the Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) Selection Committee meeting coming up next Tuesday, April 28 at 6 p.m. He suggests that another meeting be scheduled immediately after the committee's meeting to generate comments from the public that will be assembled there, since there has been so much talk about the ITN process related to the beach. He is reminded by the Mayor and other Commissioners that a workshop on the recommendation from the Committee was agreed to at the last Commission meeting and that public comment would be taken then. That meeting has not been scheduled yet. Commissioner Amoroso reviews the process and the status of the Committee, twice. He points out that the ITN process has exceeded its time limit and therefore is now public. He also indicated that the Committee may, or may not, choose to make a recommendation after the meeting on the 28th.

Worth a listen or a watch if you weren't there or missed the live broadcast on-line last night.
