Seriously People?! (Mo’ Meetings)

Is this the best we can do? 48 hours and 18 minutes notice on a meeting about community policing and Body Camera Ad Hoc Committee? You gotta be freakin’ kidding me. What kind of a public process is this? Certainly not “robust” in any sense of the word.

Notice send at 9:32 this morning.
Meeting: COMMUNITY POLICING AND BODY CAMERA AD HOC COMMITTEE

What kind of a robust public process is this? 48 hours and 18 minutes notice? Legal, but not right. Are there any attachments or information that the public can see beyond the minutes from the 4 meetings held during the day when people couldn’t attend.

This sucks. I know this was a non-traditional process, which (I think, but have way of knowing) was good, but it certainly was far, far, far from transparent and not within the spirit of open government.
