The sun is out but it is cold. If it were not for the 7:45 city
robocall I might have had a good post 3am night’s sleep.
The City’s warning/emergency system is good innovation;
except I am one who rush to find a phone and usually when I am cooking dinner
it is an inconsequential (for me) message. I would not discourage the service,
but hope it would be more selective on routine calls. The “Nixle” internet
messages are valuable but one must be prepared to receive them. Both
information modalities are the unattainable 110% improvement over our previous administration.
The next improvement would to have alternate emergency dates
for all Council meetings. Having the Agenda Fixing Session held just before the
scheduled business session defeats the purpose of that meeting. There must be a
sufficient interval between the two meetings for Councilors and the public to “understand”
what is on the agenda. Initial concepts can be changed by the input of more and
often contrary opinions.
Since the weather reports indicate another potentially large
winter event Sunday night into Monday, perhaps the Council President could at
this time fix an emergency alternated date for the meeting. Is there provision
in the charter for such action?
