11/18/15 City Council meeting open thread

The current city council has continued prior councils' practice of not providing written summary minutes of council discussion, but only "action minutes" which state the outcomes. Encinitas Undercover will provide a forum for observers to record what occurs at each council meeting.

Please use the comments to record your observations.

    1. Sadly, representative democracy doesn't work when no one is paying attention.

      Thanks to those who do.

    2. Thank you for your appreciation, 6:57.

      6:03, let me ask: do you: live life to the fullest? Or tear down those who try to make things better and think you're blogging? Sounds like you're the one with the free time.

    3. Judging by the tone of your website. Your "better" is what the majority would call "hell".

      Money always wins.

  3. Now the discussion is a budget for public art. Only $100,000 for a beginning.
    Fix the streets.

  4. Do you want your tax dollars to pay $100,000s for the art commission's view of the necessity of public art? Encinitas will look like the San Diego port authority public art. The $3 million lifeguard marine safety facility, the new name for the lifeguard tower will have public art. What do you want to see on the building? Giant seashells crafted from recycled trash. Or modernist metal entwining a giant seahorse. Or a free standing cast of the Titanic. No one goes to the beach to see the ocean.

  5. City Council is out of Control. Fix our roads and reduce staff costs including firing the $150k Art Director.
