City of Clowns are at it again. All meetings from 6-15-15 Little Falls Minnesota.

 Look at how inattentive this group is.  They are doing the very opposite as recommended by the League of Minnesota Cities recommendations for meetings.   They are supposed to look at the speaker and listen attentively.  Instead, throughout most of my comment period, NONE of them even look up.   The only one who showed proper respect was Alderman Brad Hircock, on the far right in the blue shirt.   He is usually the only one who does this.  Councilor Leif Hanson with the striped shirt, looks at me some of the time.   And notice Councilor Loren Boyum, on the far left in blue shirt next to Lori Kasella, pays absolutely no attention during the entire public forum.  He looks down and reads a paper during the entire forum comment.  He is of course, the joker who said he doesn't represent me.  "Not me" he stated emphatically.  

 

this is the part of the meeting, that the city did not videorecord, for reasons unknown.  The public has a right to know about this land acquisition.  You will only see it here, as the city videocamera system was shut off during this part of the council meeting.

Full city council meeting 6-15 -15 about 30 minutes long.  Notice at about 28 minutes the city attorney Toni Wetzel comments that the city owned library is zoned B2 and even though the sign ordinance only allows 32 square feet of banner for a city event, because the library has filed for a sign permit they are allowed to have up to 400 square feet of signage by permit.  They wanted to have up to 40 lawn signs for their youth reading event.   Now I am by no means opposed to them having wall to wall signage, but where is the allowance/exception for FREE SPEECH on one's own curtiledge?   If a person cannot have more signage from time to time, than the 8 square feet on private property, it sure looks to me like the city is favoring commercial speech.  Opposite to the Constitution, where FREE SPEECH, is supposed to be allowed more. This is troubling.   One exception, right after another.  Pathetic, and they are inviting another lawsuit.  LISTEN AT ABOUT 11 minutes and then again 12 minutes or a little beyond, for 2 more mistakes in writing ordinances that were made by city staff, so they will need to reintroduce both.   Pathetic performance from well paid staff.   This should bother every city taxpayer.  

Work session below from 6-15-15 below.

Full city council work session 6-15-15.  Notice, they are again being reminded that the humane society is in financial trouble.  They and the Morrison County Commissioners have known about this for more than a year.   Why have they done nothing to figure out this issue.  I bet not one of the commissioners or this council has EVER attended a Morrison County Humane Society meeting.  Why not?   Why don't they have a liason from each of these governing bodies to oversee the operations.   Doesn't this make sense?
