Jonda:
I was very frustrated at the last meeting with the issues that arose involving board and committee service. As a City Commission, we need to be fair, transparent, and consistent in our handling of board and committee appointments, service, terms, term limits, etc.
In conjunction with our City Attorney, please be sure that our rules, resolutions, ordinances, codes, charter, etc. are all consistent and coordinated. If we have any unwritten practices, policies or procedures that we have traditionally followed that are not consistent with the specific language of our rules, resolutions, ordinances, codes, charter, etc., please let us know. If we need to “clean up”, update, or rewrite any rules, resolutions, ordinances, codes, charter, etc., please let us know. If we need to convene the Charter Review Board to address these issues, please let us know.
The bottom line is that, regardless of the individuals involved, we need to have a process and procedure that is fair, transparent and consistent.
Thanks
John P. “Jack” Seiler
