Serving for no compensation or very little compensation is public service at its most humble level. It is a very difficult thing indeed but - and this is a but - lately we are losing our way.<br /><br />I cannot even profess to follow every action on your part as I stopped attending the Tuesday meetings when they became excessively long and since I was required to go to my work the next day, I had to leave before given an opportunity to speak on some things I would have liked it. It is with some regret that I express my opinion that I believe you have forgotten one of the fundamental reasons for these meetings and that is to garner information from us, the citizens who voted for you. And this again is strictly opinion but I sometimes feel that there is too much non-public discussion (and pre-meeting decision making) between the council members/administration.<br /><br /> <br /><br />You have often said that you are the council who moved ahead. And you have as there are new, big, expensive buildings being erected rapidly but it is all for the county! It is proper form I have been told when I broached a council member about what happened to the new urbanism development at Trinity that there can be no disclosure, and questions from the public are simply not wanted but we would hear soon. When is soon? It is of utmost concern that our votes on taxes over the past four years were largely predicated on that there was something in it for us, common citizens: retail, restaurants, trails – but this has not occurred. But the county has taken care of itself quite nicely. I do not begrudge county employees better working conditions but the excesses are obvious. <br />There has been disclosure recently that Mr. Baker is retiring. I request that you use this opportunity to bring some much needed change to the administration. Specifically I would request that honesty, openness, integrity and ability to get things done in a timely and cost efficent manner be key things you value. I think Mr. Baker has done his best and is an honest person but relies on staff that does not necessarily share similar values, and the public speaking skills of the administrators do not inspire our community. I have heard that Trinity retail is still around the corner but because of the length of time it has taken, this community has lost much. It will undoubtedly get less money for the land that has drastically reduced in value. I also ask that you find an administrator who is dynamic and charismatic, has a vision, communicates the vision and makes that vision a reality. If I may summarize, let’s get a leader in there.<br /><br /> <br /><br />It is a realization that you all are very busy but I thank you for reading my comments. I close by asking that you no longer embrace the shield of negotiations-in-process to deny communications with your citizens.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28220200.post-17815810512419648412009-07-01T12:15:41.930-06:002009-07-01T12:15:41.930-06:00"We will also request an independent peer rev..."We will also request an independent peer review by the National Academy of Sciences."<br /><br />Coded words for: "Let's get some of our guys in on this.
