Bob,
Your March 5 dated "Notice of Meeting of Linden Knoll Condominium Units Owners" had as it stated purpose a single agenda item: "Budget vote to ratify or reject the Operating Budget Fiscal Year June 1, 2016 to May 31, 2017".
Subsequently, on Friday, March 11, 2016 another "Notice of Homeowner Budget Meeting" was posted on the townhouse bulletin board, listing a different agenda to include: "HVAC upgrades - phase 3 (buildings 3 and 4), Elevator upgrades - engineer VTX, Townhouse Roof - proposal update, Ongoing Assessment, Budget - 2016 - 2017 Operating budget ratification of budget adopted by Council on 2/15/2016"
The meeting was called to order and a Roll Call of Council Members taken, presumably to determine the presence of a quorum of Council. What was the purpose for the Roll Call if this was a unit owners meeting? The meeting then proceeded with discussions of the HVAC phase 3 upgrade cost ($94,880) and the elevator engineer phase 1 and 2 costs, $4,662 and $8,609 respectively. With respect to each separate item motions were made, seconded and passed by Council to authorize these expenditures. At no time was input on these motions sought from homeowners.
Next, some comments were made about the townhouse roofs but no action was taken. Recollection is that the agenda topic "Ongoing Assessment ' was not addressed or reported. Finally, a presentation of a 'proposed budget ', approval of which cannot be documented in posted Council meeting minutes, was offered and
Once everyone who wished to speak had a say, it was time to talk go through the consent calendar. A few of the consents were easily passed with unanimous consent, but one council member, Christopher Armenta, and the vice mayor, Gary Silbiger, had issues with C-5. On the calendar, this agenda item reads as the following, “Approval of Professional Services Agreements with Associated Soils Engineering, Inc., Geo-Environmental, Inc., and Zeiser-Kling Consultants for Geotechnical Engineering and Construction Services.” Councilman Armenta was worried that the council would not have any oversight over the process of awarding geotechnical service agreements to particular firms, and that the amounts given to a particular firm could wind up being an exorbitant amount of money. Vice mayor Silbiger had similar fears.
First, on the agenda was that the county manager asked for the board's approval to add approval for bids on the Soil & Water Conservation District Storm Maintenance/Stream Debris Removal, Transit
GLA - There is a comment in the supplemental addendum that explains this as an error on the part of the assessor, which was confirmed by the assessor’s office. The assessor has assigned additional square footage to a finished attic area that
The council then reviewed past topics, such as the billing process for water and sewer services, improvement projects at Memorial Park, and more streetlight installations throughout Raymore. As for the process of passing a bill, the bill was first thoroughly explained by the council, then the mayor asked who supported the passing of this bill. Once the votes, for and against, the bill had been counted and announced by the mayor, the bill was then announced as a new policy. All four bills went through this process and were approved. Then there were four new bills introduced that discussed topics like the unofficial election results, a contract provided to Dayco Painting Inc to work on interior painting of administrative areas, a contract given to Holiday FX to put up Christmas lights on City hall, and an amendment to the city manager’s employment contract. The voting process was the same as before, and all bills ended up being approved, but the Holiday lights bill had a little bit of opposition to it because of the cost it takes to put up the lights. The council then opened the floor for public comments, in which those who decided to speak had to first state their full name and address for the record, like the personal appearance in the beginning of the meeting. I went up and made a public comment about the Holiday lights bill. I stated that is was a good idea because it showcases our city and would be a great gathering place for our city. The council communications

The meeting had preplanned agendas concerning the planning staff and services to citizens. The types of services are residential, commercial, and industrial land use development ordinances. The meeting opened with a prayer followed by the Pledge of Allegiance, call to order, determination of a quorum, to ensure all board members are present and adoption of minutes. The Chairman, Mr. Keith Williams, was the moderator and he was very polite and efficient, by giving citizens and local official the opportunity to speak. The atmosphere was very static, because there were great number of residents there awaiting their chance to speak about a certain zoning agenda (City of Gulfport,
