PARK BOARD plays MUSICAL CHAIRS

PARK BOARD plays MUSICAL CHAIRS


Park Board meeting on Monday was crazy. On the agenda was the the election of new Chair and Vice-Chair for new super committee of Park Board called Park Committee. But previous to the Monday meeting, over the weekend Commissioner Sarah Blyth sent out an email announcing herself as new Chair. Problem there is that Commissioners had not voted on this yet. To make matters worse the new Chair of Park Committee has insisted on new seating arrangement of Commissioners which makes absolutely no sense since Park Board meets right after the Committee mtg and Commissioners then need to change chairs again. Seemed to me like a game of musical chairs. During this time Commissioners engaged in a war of words which held up the start of the meeting almost by an hour. This is the Park board you elected people. That's your tax dollars at work.
