Says Moyie City Council meeting an eye opener |

To the Editor:
I haven’t been to a City of Moyie Springs
council meeting in several years. A neighbor
asked for support about road conditions, so I
attended the May 4, 2016 meeting.
Wow! New flooring, a family-sized refrigerator,
bottled water furnished for the council members,
(Moyie water not good enough?) and dozens of
cookies! Wow! I wonder if the plastic is
recycled or just tossed in the dumpster?
People were asked to sign in upon entering and
asked for their name and address when addressing
the council. Most were also asked to stand when
addressing the council.
The quirk? I was sitting next to a person who
has been a resident for several years and
attended meetings for about the last six months.
Yet she did not know the names of the council
members, the Mayor, the city attorney, the fire
chief, the public works supervisor! None of the
aforementioned stood or introduced themselves
when addressing questions from the residents.
Why?
Perhaps it is time to have the city attorney,
fire chief, and the public works supervisor be
seated at a table next to the council? Also, how
difficult would it be to use one of the
computers to print out (in LARGE font) the names
of council members and employees and hang them
from the places they are sitting? Oh heck, just
use a magic marker and save printer ink.
Just a thought,
Rosanne Smith |
