Comments about the Joint Finance Advisory Board & City Commission Joint Meeting Wed. May 25th

Karri Casper was a threat to Mulvehill's attempt to keep the 200-250 people who met on May 14 from making a 10 minute Presentation of their meeting's conclusions on a myriad of subjects in the June 7 City Commission meeting.  




Mulvehill was trying to use the Commission majority vote she knew she had to prevent Commissioner Maxwell's proposed Agenda item for the Presentation at the June 7 meeting. Mulvehill was representing that the Presentation would only cover areas of the Willdan PBSO Study that had already been covered. Mulvehill said she knew this because of email communication she had with a May 14 organizer. Karri Casper identified herself as the originator of that communication and stated that Mulvehill was misrepresenting the communication. That was when Mulvehill told her to leave the meeting and because Karri didn't, Mulvehill recessed the meeting and called PBSO.

After the recess, the City Manager opined that the presentation would hinder her negotiations with PBSO. Then the City Attorney and the City Clerk said that instead of voting on the Maxwell Agenda item at this time, it was more appropriate to vote at the June 7 meeting as to whether or not to Amend, Reorder or Delete an individual agenda item.

Gee, since I was outside the room on the phone with Channel 12, I wasn't aware of this decision or more appropriately the lack of one.

So let me get this straight, the moderators will come to the meeting with their presentation and at that time the 3 anarchist commissioners will vote from their throne NOT to allow the presentation. Now that folks, is transparency.
