North Bay Village
Commission meeting of Tuesday June 10, 2014 did not have any board report. I am
extremely concern specifically with the Budget and Oversight Committee. The responsibility
of this board is to review where our money is going and how can we be more
efficient with it. This board was handpicked by the commission and apparently
the public once again will be left in dark.
Our budget workshop is
around the corner and very soon we will need to set our mileage for the 2014 to
2015 fiscal year. Once again we will be discussing our police budget that seems
to eat up about 67% of our operating budget. The board to this day has failed
to identify areas of concerns and recommendations to address them.
The commission has
failed to apply pressure and guidance to make these boards effective and useful,
are they going to blame this on us as well, the negative bloggers. Is the
commission ignoring their own boards? North
Bay Village deserves better!
In the absence of the
Mayor at yesterday’s meeting Vice Mayor Eddie Lim chaired the meeting. We once
again endured the pain of listening to their reports that normally toot to
their own horns. Yet nothing was mentioned regarding the Barry University
Survey Results and the plans to correct it, why? Is it going under the rug?
Public safety is not important? Clean Streets? A failing and aging
infrastructure is not important? Only one commissioner keeps reminding the rest
of our troubles, hopefully he will not give up and continues to drive the
message home! No wait we will just fix it by raising our
taxes. North Bay Village deserves better!!!
Honestly Opinionating!
