BOA & More

Monthy BOA meeting 7PM, City Hall, 4 August. No agenda posted on the City website as of noon Monday.

Mary did send out an email agenda for the meeting as well as mentioned her endorsement of the proposed 1/2 sales tax for Parks (vote is Tuesday the 4th at the CC). She is the only public official that I know in the City that has taken a position. She attached a copy of a letter from a group called "Yes for Parks Committee". Not sure who they are, googled the name and nothing popped up. They do use twitter and have 19 followers. Speaking of twitter, recieved a tweet from Ivan Foley regarding the sales tax issue.

Lots of last minute rock throwing between pro and con. I don't think there is any doubt Parks needs funding, there seems to be plenty doubt 1/2 cent is needed. I am puzzled by the Commissioners wisdom in scheduling the vote on a Special Election and the costs involved. I see it the way the Platte County Republican and Democratic Central Committees see it. Vote no and have the Commissioners propose a sales tax that is more realistic based on the times and needs.
