They Don't Want Your Opinion

I know. You already know that, but here goes:

City Commission Meeting, Tuesday, June 3, agenda item #8:

"On May 20, 2008, staff recommended the adoption of Resolution 9749 creating an Animal Shelter/Enforcement Advisory Committee to assist the Commission in a variety of issues relating to the animal shelter and animal control".

At that meeting, the commission voted to table the ordinance.

"However, members of the City Commission have advised that they are comfortable in making immediate decisions necessary, and that an advisory committee, as is contemplated in Resolution 9749, should be postponed until shelter and enforcement operations have been finalized".

It couldn't be more obvious. Certain members of the City Commission do not want public input, especially from folks, like neighborhood council members, who may not have their own agendas. Heaven forbid if there would be unbiased opinions and suggestions given about animal operations.

Any guesses which commissioners vote in favor of denying this ordinance at Tuesday night's meeting?
