BOFPC cancels 3/1 meeting; avoids training

The Woodstock Board of Fire and Police Commissioners has canceled its March 1st Regular Meeting and has once again avoided completing the training directed last May by the City Attorney on behalf of the mayor and the city manager.

On May 19, 2009, City Attorney Rich Flood wrote to the Commissioners and its attorney and stated, "Also, the City has asked us to make a presentation to the Commission on the requirements of and compliance with the Open Meetings Act at its next regularly scheduled meeting."

There were regularly-scheduled meetings in June, September, December and now, March 1. And there were numerous Special Meetings.

This Commission is appointed by the mayor. Why is it being allowed to cancel Regular Meetings and thus avoid the Open Meetings Act presentation and training by the City Attorney?

Probably because no one in the City of Woodstock gives a darn...never saw so much apathy.
