Councilwoman Barth at Special Meeting

What was billed as a special council meeting was actually Mayor Stocks fooling around for some weeks with the agenda and council schedule, which postponed the appointments to city commissions and kept the community almost completely in the dark about the General Plan update.  In what has become a council offensive move #6 or so is the rhetoric of throwing out the general plan update and blaming all on the consultant, MIG, or the State legislature.

It was reassuring to hear councilwoman Barth to speak rationally about a complex process  in terms of leadership rather than the simplistic clean slate, all or nothing extremes that came out in the evening's speeches.
