If you're not busy this Thursday evening (Dec. 8), say...around 6:00 PM, I have a suggestion-- if your taste runs toward the absurd.
The Southport Board of Aldermen will convene to swear in 3 new board members and conduct a little business. One particular item on the agenda should bring a smile to your face. It is innocently listed as: consideration of and possible action to Amend Chapter 2, Section 2-26 of the City Code Entitled Administration of Ordinances.
Buddy Barnes, one of the newbies, will introduce this amendment to the city's code, and let's see if you think he thought this up all on his own. The change Alderman Barnes proposes will give the power to appoint board committee members to the mayor. The board has had this authority for the past year, but apparently Barnes feels the mayor should tell him which committee he will serve on.
I respectfully disagree with Alderman Barnes. Be sure to show up and see how the vote goes. It will say a lot about your elected officials.
Ciao - Ken
