COMMITTEES SHARE THIS FEELING OF BEING FRUSTRATED FOR BEING
PREVENTED FROM CARRYING OUT THEIR PURPOSE. OUR GOLF COURSE BOARD
WAS DOWNGRADED FROM A DECISION MAKING BOARD TO AN ADVISORY
COMMITTEE WHICH WAS PREVENTED FROM CARRYING OUT THE PURPOSE BY
THE GOLF COURSE MANAGEMENT AND THIS COUNCIL HAS JUST DONE AWAY
WITH IT. OUR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION HAS BEEN FRUSTRATED
IN BEING BYPASSED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS BY THIS COUNCIL BY NOT
ASKING FOR THEIR INPUT ON VARIOUS MATTERS SUCH AS ANNEXATION
BEFORE US, WE JUST PASSED IT, THE EMPLOYMENT OF A PLANNER FOR
CHANGES IN THE LAND USE PLAN AND THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR AN
AIRSTRIP. THE CEMETERY COMMITTEE HAS BECOME SO FRUSTRATED THERE
WAS NO COMMITTEE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. THE AIRPORT COMMITTEE
STILL FUNCTIONS BUT NOT WITHOUT ITS FRUSTRATIONS. THE CODE
ENFORCEMENT BOARD IS NOW SHOWING ITS FRUSTRATION. GENTLEMEN, WE
NEED THE INPUT AND ADVICE OF THESE VOLUNTEER CITIZEN COMMITTEES.
WE SHOULD NOT BE SO TUNNELVISIONED TO FEEL THAT WE KNOW iT ALL.
WE NEED TO LISTEN TO THESE COMMITTEES AND DISCUSS ISSUES WITH
THEM WITH AN OPEN MIND. THEIR CONSIDERED OPINION IS MEANT TO
ASSIST US IN MAKING DECISIONS, DECISIONS WHICH CAN AND DO AFFECT
THE WELFARE OF THE CITY. THANK YOU."
