At the Restructuring Boards & Commissions meeting last Thursday, city staff told us that City Council wouldn’t be addressing the full restructuring during their work session, just the Council Committees. That turned out not to be the case.
I rose at tonight’s City Council meeting to express my dismay at the dismissive remarks made by Councilmembers about the citizen’s response to the restructuring proposal, and to point out that the fault was with Council in not starting with a thorough assessment of the functioning of Boards & Commissions and a 360º interview/survey of current participants’ views.
