Dear Council
If there is one thing constant about Council meetings is the never ending addition of new personnel to the City staff.
I note that while the table references "vacant" position, there is not a single clue as to the overall staffing. For example, the City does not provide an organizational chart and no one knows and with who else these vacant positions fit. Neither do we ever know, objectively, what is being done by the existing personnel and what is not.
There has also not been an independent audit of the efficiency of the City that is has not been commissioned by the Staff itself.
The Staff sets the agendas and the residents have no say on what gets to be on the agenda. Regardless of how many times residents express concern about various topics, including the City Staff and Police Dept. numbers/compensation, they are never addressed.
Why is the City not publicly tracking a list of topics the residents have concerns about and allocate a reasonable portion of the Council meetings exchanging with residents about their concerns.
