Link to SBNews Agenda Notice of special meeting of the City Commission and Joint Workshop with the Utility Board on Tuesday, July 26, 2011 at 5:30 p.m
At the 2nd commission mtg last month (June), the CC wanted to cancel the meetings in July because of vacation schedules and date conflicts. The City Attorney put a stop to that informing the CC that a CC mtg can only be cancelled for "lack of a quorum" and the City Charter states that at least one CC mtg. shall be held.
To quote that famous Marine, Gomer Pyle, "Surprise, Surprise". The CC is now having its' 3rd Special Mtg. this month. Somebody at City Hall has been very busy pushing these GO'S (General Obligation) and CO'S (Certificate of Obligation).
My initial reaction was that yes we needed to address the city's needs but not at this level of expenditure. Now, I am having some serious doubts. Specifically irksome to me is the fact that it (GO's and CO's) have been fast-tracked when just last month the CC was not even aware of them.
Particularly rebarbative (my new word of the day) or irritating is the fact that the CC has scheduled nothing but "Special Meetings" where "Public Comments" are not permitted.
I invite all Citizens to get involved and attend the City Commission Mtgs. and learn what is transpiring because " **it is about to hit the proverbial fan!"
My retort to "We are not raising taxes!" is "How are WE paying for all this expenditures?."
Special thanks and kudos to the San Benito News Online Edition for posting the Agenda online!

There is definitely some skullduggery going on at the City. It is sad to see what appears to be many people buying into the lies and deception about that is going on.
Ten years from now people will look back and wonder what happened...the perps will be long gone.
