Video from last night's meeting held at the Lake Worth Casino building by Hudson Holdings

NOTE! If you are a City of Lake Worth commissioner or are a member of the ITN committee YOU CANNOT WATCH THESE VIDEOS.

Just a few words about last night and this collection of videos. First, there were audio issues at the beginning of the meeting so be patient as you begin watching the meeting. Those issues improve as the meeting progresses.

Noteworthy are these signs which were posted on most of the doors to the ballroom:
You will hear discussion of that at the beginning of the meeting. The City attorney weighed-in and determined that commissioners, city staff or members of the Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) Committee are still operating in a "cone of silence."
What caused the long line to enter the Casino building was the checking of IDs. You can see that in the picture below. People were also issued wristbands once their ticket and ID were verified.
I knew of this issue (about the ITN process) beforehand so I called the City Attorney and told her that I planned on taking video of the meeting. She said that it was OK to do that but that she would advise any of the parties from the City involved in the ITN process that they shouldn't watch any of the video(s). So it's important to re-state that here.

I'll be pulling out segments of the video later that I consider highlights of the meeting, but if you have time, I encourage you to watch the entire playlist.
