3 Minutes

Mayor Ferre interrupted a speaker while that speaker was asking for possible slight extension to reading a page of practiced material and a summary without being interrupted. BUT, the Mayor Ferry was compelled to INTERJECT that Ms Bidney would only be given 3 minutes.

Ms. Bidney managed to read the Proposed Ordinance Change, to Protect Private Property from Eminent Domain Abuse by the RDA and the City. She was starting her Summary when Mayor Ferry had to INTERJECT. PLEASE SUMMARIZE.

This NEED to Interject during an obvious Statement, and what is clearly a Summary is simply RUDE, attention getting, and it is a distraction to the speaker, and those listening.

Mayor Ferre, allowed the back and forth between Mr. Hilkey to go on and on, and on. The topic was not one that the city was going to resolve. It was interesting, but a distraction it is not like you will get a reduction on your electric bill.

Mayor Ferre, you aren't fair to everyone, you are rude to many, including other Council Members. Your March through the Agenda, and avoid discussion of topics not supported by staff is stifling to the process of governance. It is time for a New Mayor, and person with a different style of "Management" of the Meetings. A person with a broader skill set other than watching the clock and being a time keeper.
