City Council Meeting Case Study

The experience going to the council meeting was great and I would imagine that the items on the agenda had a great deal to do with that. The topics I found the most interesting revolved around public nudity, serving alcohol in public, spending grant money, a gun ordinance, and polling the public about being taxed. The agenda item revolving around public nudity took up most of the time. Currently, Eureka doesn't have a ordinance in place to give police authority to arrest citizens who are nude in public when it isn't a sexual act. The chief of police gave example of a person doing Tai Chi in a public park nude. The police were called and couldn't do anything short of asking him to put his clothes on. There was concern among a few council members

St. Augustine, Florida – May 10, 2020 – During the ABC School Board meeting on May 10, 2020, the board appointed Dr. Jamie Walker-Davidson as the new superintendent of schools. She will be stepping up to replace Dr. David Romano, who will be retiring after 20 years serving the ABC school district. Board President Matthew Barnes stated, “We are excited that we were able to fill this position with such a competent and valuable candidate.” Dr. Walker-Davidson officially takes office on July 1, 2020, however she has already begun working with Dr. David Romano, the staff, and school board for a seamless transition.

The meeting had an agenda that was published two days in advance per required by california state law. It was followed religiously by the council without deviation. They called the meeting to order and when everybody was quiet they started with the flag salute/presentation of the colors. They had the system of nominating ideas and seconding them to vote. They were speedy about it and there was no hesitation. However, out of the five city council members only three of the individuals so while the voted to vote they moved almost all of the votes to the next meeting when there would be more Council members.

On September 9, 2014 I attended the Glendale City Council meeting which was held at the Council Chamber which is located on the 2nd floor of the Glendale City Hall, Room 200, 613 East Broadway, Glendale, California. The meeting commenced at 6 p.m. and lasted for approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes. Several policy proposals were made and discussed in this particular meeting. This paper is aimed at discussing the various policy proposals made and debated at this meeting with a view to establishing whether they are acceptable or unacceptable to the Glendale electorate. It is, however, essential to provide a brief background of the City of Glendale before embarking on a discussion of policy proposals.

The NRLC’s strategies to fulfill their goals are through education, legislation and political action. Within education, the committee uses research, pamphlets and other educational materials and leadership training to inform people on the need to protect lives. In order to properly effect legislation,, there are people who lobby for the causes, speaking to legislators on why to move forward with bills that would advance the organization’s mission. Thirdly, the committee, in any way it ca, sponsors political candidates who share their views on these issues.

Neighborhood Councils serve as representatives for locals in their cities and perform in a citywide role to assist citizens at a city level. They address citywide issues; take positions on politics all while proactively engaging their communities. Neighborhood councils are the links between government agencies and local communities. They represent the entire community, putting personal opinions aside. The Lake Balboa Neighborhood Council (LBNC) serves in an advisory capacity on issues of concern within their community regarding city governance. By working together to strengthen their community they are transparent and collaborative while promoting trust and accountability in accomplished goals. It is the Lake Balboa Neighborhood Council’s responsibility to improve the community and allow community members to weigh in on major issues.

1. Ignorance has been dealt with pretty well in my community. In the Palm Beach county board meetings, people bring their complaints in front of the board. I cannot speak for the people on the board, but I have noticed that they considered and reacted to the comments in a civil and professional manner. From what I can recall, the complaints range anywhere from local projects being behind to removing the confederate flag from a local municipality. People within the county board are comfortable with designation and have a “tower perspective.” They tend to treat the community in a way that they don’t know better.

As soon as I become your mayor I would, let more animals in the city limits. If we let more animals in the city, some people might come to live here because they can have farm animals in the city limits. If we let more animals in the city limits, some of the kids what to live on a farm, then some people can live in the city and have a small yard and there will be more room in the city for people. This would benefit Council Bluffs by, there will be people that like the idea and move to Council Bluffs. Some of the kids that are lonely will have someone to play with if they are allergic to cats and dogs. They might be lonely because there parents are always at work. The farm animals will like the kids only friend that will be there. The kid will not be board. Now you know why I

As I have thoroughly addressed the existing issues above and critically analyze the both sides’ perspective, there are some measures I will consider in advance and persuade my audience. Proposing or seeking a mutual understanding. In order to accomplish it, I will consider a townhall meeting. First, reaching out for the tribal councils and other land owners near the constructions sites. Secondly, call a representative from the Army Crops of Engineers of America and other officials from federal government, such as Department of Transportation and Department environmental science. Lastly, the president of the oil company, their representatives and the Doug Burgum, North Dakota’s governor. This way would be one of the important element to consider,

I chose to attend a city council meeting for this assignment and was very surprised at what I witnessed. The city council served an important purpose and the meeting actually accomplished many important goals. Among the interesting things that I saw at the council meeting were the people who attended, the people who presented, the people who sat on the council, and the subjects that were being voted upon in the meeting.

For 17 years and counting, Mineola has reminded me how participation and involvement shape futures. Decisions feel much more consequential in a town of a few thousand when compared to cities saturated with influences and challenges. Realizing this very fact, citizens of Mineola, are vocal people. We know that our voices can and will ring out among a community

On Monday, November 20th 2017, I attended the City of Atlanta’s council meeting while visiting my friend for the holidays. I have had no experience with any kind of government event outside of student government, so I personally had no idea what to expect. Driving around in Atlanta was confusing enough, but we were kindly shown where to go to sit in on the meeting.

Current laws in Seminole and Orange counties prohibit adult entertainment establishments from being located within one mile of any residential area. Further, recent changes in county codes have limited full nudity in Seminole County. Having instituted this law prior to the foundation of an adult entertainment facility in the county it is fair to say that any business man would have equal opportunity to commercial property that is within the boundaries that the law requires. Unfortunately to better suit the growing nature of society residential areas expand quickly and sometimes without regard to these businesses that were founded legally. Should these business be forced to move because the residence moved closer to them or should the residences have foreseen this matter before it occurred? In New York City, Mayor Rudolph Guliani believed that since citizens moved into the area and the business were creating a public nuisance they should be shut down. In 1998, the adult entertainment facilities of Times Square, New York were forced to shut
