Newsletter about the City Council meeting of January 20, 2015

I began video recording the City Council in 2012, because of my desire that the City do it on their own as any modern 21st century community began doing long ago. I had people tell me that they couldn't make it to the meetings, but they would like to see what is going on. I was also told by some council members that my summaries did not truly reflect the record, so having a video/audio recording cannot be misinterpreted.

So below is the City Council meeting. With each agenda item, you can click on the links and it will take you to that specific point in the meeting. You can always drag the marker on the video display to the point in the broadcast that you are interested in seeing.

Agenda about the City Council meeting of January 20, 2015

Thoughts about the City Council meeting of January 20, 2015 - I didn't do an article of thoughts this week. The meeting lasted a little less than 25 minutes. I will incorporate thoughts into this article.

The Hound's Notes:  I happened to be right on target with my Agenda comment that there would be a brief overview to reiterate the discussion of January 12 concerning the Bond Commission structure and formation. No one spoke for or against the proposal. Manager Berry went over the decisions of the Council. At the end of the meeting on February 3, if all goes as planned, we will find out who the people are that will be serving on this commission. We pretty much can guess who these people will be. It will be the group from Boost Hickory and/or the people who they choose to serve as their proxies.
