This is an update from council member, Steve Gold and I ask some questions of him to clarify some terms. See "comments".
To all:
1: UPDATE:
They Mayor is calling for an executive session at the beginning of the Council Workshop Monday. There may be a member of Sun-Up, the company doing the work present. Sun-up had sent the City a nasty letter stating it will charge the city $8,400. per day for delays because of labor expenses (see attachment). I am writing a letter tonight to our City Attorney to have him look at the contract and see if there are any escape clauses or if it can be renegotiated.
Note: I plan to question the legality of an executive session in this situation. If it is to avoid a pending/potential lawsuit, which is the reason for most executive sessions, than we cannot have Sun-Up there…because there the ones who is likely to sue us. If the executive session proceeds and we do not act within the boundaries of he sunshine laws, I will call for it to end or walk out.

What is an "executive session"?
What are the "sunshine laws"?
Also, $8,400/day seems like this is a huge contract we're dealing with. Which is NOT good news.
Perhaps it's possible to give this compmany different work in the city that at least comes close to the amount of this contract.
Executive session means that the public is not allowed, which means it's behind closed doors.
$8400 a day is a helluva lot of money and raises the question, yet again, of who is watching the money that we pay in taxes to the City? The City Council? Um... doesn't look like it does it?
November 18th... vote the incumbents out.
That should have been September 18th... I get so confused by what I learned in school... "First Tuesday after the first Monday in NOVEMBER."
Leave it to local politics.
