Listen as Dan Vogt and Toni Wetzel advise this inept group of elected officials, that they should delete this board, that has NEVER fulfilled it's mandated monthly meetings. Perhaps if they had EVER MET MONTHLY, the golf course wouldn't have lost so much taxpayer money. In the minutes, it is stated that the city had to use a business consultant from the Brainerd area, to tweek the menu and help the manager know how to show a profit. Really? This manager is paid big bucks folks, and he doesn't even know how to do that?
The discussion was about 30 minutes long, but well worth listening to these clowns try to figure out how to fix yet another SCREWUP. Folks, it should be more than apparent that your city government has NEVER run legally, in a number of areas, including developing and enacting an unconstitutional sign ordinance, an illegal Sister City Committee, a Youth Task Force that was illegally fundraising and soliciting donations, and numerous other laws that didn't even require the mandated 3 day public notice in order to hold open meetings. I will soon be writing a detailed report, listing all the ordinance amendments, deletions, that have occurred during the past 4 years. It is a disgrace that this city has illegally fundraised and solicited donations for YEARS....LIKELY DECADES, all without public knowledge, because they get by with doing business in the dark. You let them. By not broadcasting over public access tv, the work sessions(where the dirt is discussed), there is no way for the bulk of the citizenry to keep track of their constant shenanigans. Demand immediate filming of, and publicizing all open meetings, including all committees. This is the only way to achieve sunlight on dealings with your tax dollars. If you can, begin attending meetings, just as I did, to demand forthright, honest governance and representation. It is no wonder I continue to use the term "city of clowns." Because it's true.
