President Linda Krug.

As I said in a post earlier the council are a mess.  This lays with the person who runs them, and that is council president Linda Krug this year.  She seems to have little to no idea on how to run a council meeting.

Just go back to the last city council meeting for a couple of examples.  The May 12th city council has two big screaming examples of this, the first was an amendment to a resolution, the second the closing of the council meeting.  I don't remember what resolution it was but councilor Gardener had an amendment to it.  She read the amendment then conversation started about it right away. Wait what are you not suppose to have a second to the the amendment before you start talking about the amendment.  Yes you are and who had to bring that first time councilor Zack Flipovich.  He was not able to bring this up till at least 10 minutes in to the conversation of the amendment when he was called on to speak.  Also when there is an amendment you are just to speak on that yet councilors where also talking about the resolution or just about the resolution.

Second came the end of the meeting. The meeting was in fact a long, many staid it was 2nd longest in 20 years, and your point is what?  The meeting needs to be completed with councilor comments then ended with an adjournment and vote.  That did not happen President Krug kept saying she was tired and wanted to go and end the meeting.  When she closed the meeting with out a vote which needs to happens she told a councilor Mr. Montgomery  they don't need to speak it's late.  She then ended the meeting with out a vote and when she wanted to.  I did not she was ruler of the council, I thought there where rules to follow but maybe there is not these days.  That seems to be the case anyway.

As I said the council meeting have seen a slip in the way they are suppose to be ran the last number of years, this years being the worst.  I can't tell how many times there have things done wrong by the council President Krug.  The council really needs to start calling her out on this, we need a meeting ran the right way.  If it is not it makes it hard to follow on radio and tv, not to mention even at the meeting it's self.  It also is what is right.  There are rules to running a council meeting and that should be followed at all times.  

It's sad that this council president does not seem to care about the rules.
