Wag the Dog Workshop

For those that missed the pop-up on the City Hall website:

There will be a COUNCIL WORKSHOP MEETING on November 19, 2007 at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers of City Hall.

Topics for discussion:
  • Employee Insurance Benefits
  • City Liability Insurance

I have heard that the city clerk has stated that the Benefits/Insurance issues are priority items and need to be passed by the next city council meeting (Monday, 11/26). If it was so priority why wasn't it brought up at the last workshop meeting? Is this like PoolPro where we wait to the last minute to discuss issues so that they are rammed down the throat of the citizens (without proper debate)?

Where's the CA discussion? I am disturbed that this is missing since the council voted to have a workshop meeting dedicated to this discussion at the beginning of the month. This was the perfect opportunity. All other pending items for the 11/26 were discussed at the previous workshop session (11/5). Is this urgency of insurance/benefits a ploy to keep the CA issue off the agenda?

I have a feeling that this is a case of the tail wagging the dog.

Or, perhaps another case of inefficiency at city hall. As in, "why are we always waiting until the last minute to do these things"?

Don't you love how Richard Kmode goes to such great lengths to tell everyone that his youtube posts are not propaganda?

I guess he really is stupid.
