Weds 9-9-09 IACC board meeting cancelled
About 11am, Sept 9, it was announced that the IACC board meeting scheduled for 6pm this evening has been cancelled. The Public Safety director's office announced there would not be a quorum, as two board members wouldn't be able to attend. When asked, board chairman Patitz said he had not received any notice that any board members would be absent, but for some interesting reason, their absence was reported by the PS office, who does not by law appear to have any direct authority over the operation of the IACC board as outlined in sec. 251 of the ordinance.
Unfortunately, that means it is unlikely that the
public will be afforded any opportunity to speak in a public forum regarding the
performance of the shelter, or Administrator Rae prior to the end of his
probationary period. How terribly handy for a PS department that, by all outward
appearances, is going out of their way to ensure that Doug Rae and IACC fail and
that supporting voices are suppressed.
