HomeMy WebLinkAboutRe Report a Concern(s) to the City of Cape Canaveral and Code Enforcement Changes (15)Patrick: Thank you for your interest in the city's governing process. I
too have been a resident for 39 years, and have seen many changes. Of
late I'm not liking the response by most of the council members to any
concerns I have expressed and have become very frustrated with the
system, which is what I believe the motive by staff. For such a small
city our government seems to have taken on a roll of hiding the answers
to issues Council meetings are usually attended by more stall than
residents. This I believe is due to most of the council not having
checked or understand the information of the Agenda Items, and refer
questions by residents to the staff with the answer, with little
discussion time to get a detailed answer.
I have sent emails to council members about this agenda item and a few
others.
I can't guarantee I will attend the meeting due to another commitment,
but will try.
Again
Thank you
Joe Abreu

Thank you for being interested in the wellbeing of our City. I
am Patrick Campbell, a 40 year resident of Cape Canaveral. I do not work
for the City, speak for the City, or represent the City in any way. I am
a resident. I have used the Report a Concern form located on the City
website and found it to be fairly effective in contacting City
leadership. However, contacting the City is not enough. It is what the
City does with important citizen input that matters.
PLEASE ATTEND AND VOICE YOUR OPINION at the Tuesday City Council
Meeting May 21st 6 PM. The City wants to move to a Special Magistrate
System of code enforcement. Fill out a comment card and tell them what
you think of this change. Send a Report a Concern. Make your views
known.
Two things are happening. First, the Code Enforcement Board,
people that LIVE IN AND CARE FOR OUR CITY, will be disbanded. A lawyer
(Special Magistrate) will replace the board. The representation of your
interests, protection of citizen's influence on the actions of the city
and your voice in city management will be marginalized.
The next thing, already in work, is the continuation of the
City's strategy to restrict public access to the activities and
performance of Code Enforcement by establishing a "Citizen Portal." You
will be required to register to view Code Enforcement inner workings and
productivity. You will see only what City leadership wants you to see.
If you believe in open government, the people's right, DO NOT
LET THIS HAPPEN. Do not let the City of Cape Canaveral leadership erode
the protections established by Florida's Sunshine Laws.
I see disturbing trends in the provisions for public
participation in the management of our community. Since 1909 Florida has
been among the National leaders in promoting the concepts of open
government. On January 4, 2011, then Governor Rick Scott issued
Executive Order 11-03 re-establishing the Office of Open Government. The
order remains in place under Governor DeSantis and states, in part:
“The Office (of Open Government) will (1) facilitate Floridians’
right to know and have access to information with which they can hold
government accountable, (2) establish and maintain a website providing
ready access to accountability information, (3) continue to assure full
and expeditious compliance with Florida’s open government public records
laws, and (4) provide training to all executive agencies under my
purview on transparency and accountability. The Office will also have
primary responsibility for ensuring that the Office of the Governor
complies with public records requests in an expeditious manner.”
The leadership of the City of Cape Canaveral is acting in a
manner contrary to the concepts and spirit of the laws of open
government.
Specifically, I have experienced City leadership employing a
strategy that:
- makes access to information difficult or unreasonably
expensive
- includes non-responsiveness or delay responding to citizen
concerns
- uses misinformation, fragmented information and incorrect
information to explain or justify their actions
- applies City power in a disrespectful, punitive, capricious
and selective manner
Send the City leadership an email with your views on reducing
citizen influence on the actions of the City by the elimination of the
Code Enforcement Board. Email and call the City Manager, David Greene
321.868.1220. Let him know how important representation by the Code
Enforcement Board, active participants and residents of Cape Canaveral,
is to protect our interests. Do not be fooled by the cheaper, faster,
better, more consistent application mantra as reasons for a Special
Magistrate.
It is not about any of that. It is about reducing citizen
influence on City decisions that affect all of us. It is about City
leadership deflecting responsibility and accountability. It is about
diminishing your rights.
