City Council Special Meeting on Naming City Facitities, ie Airport

It sometimes seems that the City goes out of its way to make it difficult for city residents to participate in their government.

A special meeting has been announced on the city website for Tuesday, February 4, 2020 at a time not specified at a new location where the council typically does not meet. Special Meeting

Even though this is purportedly a meeting of a council subcommittee, it is billed as City Council Special Meeting where citizens have the right to participate.

The purpose of this meeting is to present the results from the public comment period which has concluded, as well as a review of the request to policy criteria.

In accordance with the Naming Policy, the City accepted public comments related to this request for thirty (30) days. Now that the public comment period has concluded, the committee will take into consideration all public comment when making a recommendation to the City Council regarding this request.

The airport naming issue has generated a fair amount of public interest.

Is this obscure meeting place at a unspecified time another effort to minimize public participation?

Inquiring minds would like to know!
