Alderman TenPas was the hot head and if he had an issue he should have approached the City Clerk (not Sabonjian) before the meeting. The City clerk is the one that changed the meeting minutes shortly before the Council meeting at the request of Alderman Larsen. It was a one word change. The agenda was not changed as someone wrote in an earlier post.The agenda was changed. The News-Sun quoted Tenpas concerning the change in the agenda. The "preliminary" agenda had a Smith LaLuzerne item on it and the "final" agenda did not.
Also, Alderman TenPas should have used proper procedure and voted "no" to approve the minutes and stated why when he said his vote. Mayor Sabonjian was simply pushing him to vote "no" on the minutes as they were written.
Alderman TenPas is at fault and it is embarrassing for our City to see our Leaders behave that way for the entire world to see.
I'm sorry, I wasn't aware of that change. But, since when has Alderman TenPas been concerned with a late agenda change? It happened all of the time under the old administration. I still think he should keep it behind closed doors, it's embarrassing for our City.
