GOOD VS EVIL…..
Dear Readers….It’s a go…the “Special Meeting” that the residents were asking for…will be tomorrow night …June 30, 2009…thanks to Mayor Minnet!…
The Mayor was out of town…and worked on getting this into play while away…KUDOS!…
The “Gang of 3” were in town…and either turned their phones off…deleted their e-mails….or gave excuses both pitiful…full of holes…or downright laughable…all the while strongly backing the Town Manager in taking this action to “reassign” LBTS-BSO Police Chief Scott Gooding….. Now there is a call to all CIC/VFD members to fall in line!…
Commissioner Dodd was out of the country…but will arrive for both meetings….
The meeting will take place at 6:30 pm in Jarvis Hall and will be televised and online http://lbts.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=2
TODAY….
CIC E-MAIL SENT FROM CIC CHAIR /BTSTIMES EDITOR BOB ROBERTS (AKA BTSTimes letter to the Ed. writer R.W. Roberts)….
Dear CIC Members:
The July 4th Beach Blast Extravaganza is just around the corner and we want to remind you of the Volunteer meeting this Wednesday, July 1, 7:00 PM in Jarvis Hall. This meeting is for anyone who would like to be a part of helping put on the event. Your spirit and valuable service is truly appreciated by all the townspeople! Pizza will also be served so bring your appetite!
On another note, this Tuesday, June 30th at 7:00 PM, there will be an important meeting at Jarvis Hall. It will be a round table discussion of the Town Commissioners and the topic will be an annual job review for Town Manager, Esther Colon. On Friday, Mrs. Colon had LBTS BSO Police Chief Gooding reassigned out of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. The Town Manager has contractual discretion to reassign any BSO employee without cause something that has been done numerous times in the past .
A couple of months ago 29 LBTS citizens (many of them CIC members) spoke at public comments in support of Town Manager, Colon. Since one of the CIC’s founding intentions is the commitment to monitor the performance of elected officials, the CIC must keep abreast of this important unfolding situation and that is why your attendance at this round table discussion is critical. Tuesday, June 30th, 7:00 PM Jarvis Hall .
Happy 4th of July!
Sincerely,
Your CIC Board of Directors
