January 30 - tell the Mayor and City Commissioners what you think of their job performance
On January 30th at 7p.m., the annual Citizen's Roundtable will be held at Old School Square.
First the Mayor will speak. That will be followed by a presentation from the Planning and Zoning Board, the CRA and David Harden, City Manager. They will talk about what they've done and what they're planning to do.
Afterwards in smaller groups, the public will have their chance.
You can ask questions and let your opinions be known.
I hear lots of grumbling about:
* The seemingly endless number of condos and high-rises that are being built.
* A City government that does not listen.
* How tax dollars are being spent.
On the other hand - if you are pleased as punch, tell them.
And if you have some suggestions, this is the time to do it.
Instead of talking amongst ourselves, this is an opportunity to let the people who make the decisions know how we feel.
Granted it's an effort and a sacrifice to spend an entire evening there. But it's worth it. It is our City.

Interesting blog. Where did you get your facts.
Endless condos? Growth has stopped. The condo's developed were part of a citizens master plan with input from hundreds and hundreds of residents. Downtown housing has been wished for for 20 years...glad we got some. It beats the hell out of sprawl.
Highrises? A three or four story building is not a highrise. Again, it beats sprawl. We better start going vertical or we'll surely ruin the rest of Florida.
Gov't that doesn't listen: Can't speak for the new mayor. But the old one responded to my calls and emails within hours and showed up at everything and listened to people all day long. He couldn't have been more accessible. People sometimes mistake listening for obedience...not the same thing.
Thanks for listening
