Middletown Council Meets Monday

This may be a lively meeting. Or not.

One item on the agenda is informing the town that it is subject to a suit for a citizen's falling (and breaking her nose) due to a crumbling sidewalk by Flo's across from Atlantic Beach. What is distrubing about this is the plan submitted to the Council by the Planning Board for this whole area. A consultant was paid to come up with this plan which the Town could actually afford to implement. Yet nothing, zero, zilch. It was presented to the town with 2 councillors commenting that it wouldn't actually speed up traffic. And then it died. Now a woman has fallen on those messy sidwalks interspersed with mailboxes & poles & crumblingcurbs/sidewalks .

The cheapest bid to "clean-up" the former drive-in is $37,000. One wonders why it has to be cleaned up at all.

An approval for appx. $13,000 to be spent just searching for a new Town Admin. This may spark some comments/debate.
Some other interesting topics like the tattoo parlor owner's complaint about excessive/inappropriate requirements.

Councilman Silveira has a proposal to honor recent Gulf War vets. Yeah! More later.

I say don't waste the $13,000.00 on a search for a new town administrator until the President own's up to his bad behavior of limiting release of information concerning the senior center, his sister is the department head as well as his abusive, discriminating tactics.

The community has the no faith in the process. How can you expect to find the best applicant under this current situation? Leave Mr. Brown in charge and let the next council surely to be w/out Rodrigues choose the new administrator.
