A reprieve, and a loss
Well, only around 50 people showed this this time, no doubt because they scheduled the meeting the day after a federal holiday.
The new council chambers are smaller than the old ones - WTH???? It's like they don't expect or want people to show up for the meetings. Poor Dan (the Chief of police) wound up playing go-for, dragging in plush office chairs from the different employee offices (which looked like they cost around $200 each).
The FIRST public hearing - GREAT SCOTT - took about 2 hours!!!!!!!!!
The comment that stuck out the most was made by a transplanted Brit (who earned a lot of instant respect by stating):
If you'll look behind me, I think, you're in the minority"
Adrian M. (refering to the city council)
ROFLMBO!
When it was all said and done, the city council voted to table the anexation.
They then moved on to changes in the "Big Box" ordinance.
After a shorter period of public comments, the city council voted to approve the current changes and accepted it as is - WITHOUT a size cap, and WITHOUT a definate impact study on local businesses, opting instead to study JUST the impact on city services.
In other words, THIS FIGHT IS NOT OVER! We as concerned citizens MUST redouble our efforts, not only to oppose the commercial developement out there, but also to get the word out to EVERYONE in this county!
