READER COMMENT Voice of the people Disappointed by meeting Those who attended the budget hearing of the CMSD Trustees board Thursday night had to be disappointed by the conduct of board. First the board announced guidelines to be used for the hearing. First would be the pre- sentation of the budget followed by response to WRITTEN questions, then board members would have time to give their input to the pro- cess. The board did not follow policy since the poli- cy states printed information on the topic would be made available to the public ahead of time. It was not at the sign-in table for people to pick up and have for reference. As the meeting progressed, the restriction on speaking was relaxed some but still stifled some who wished to speak. This relaxation only happened because the President Verdell requested the writer of the question to come to the podium to verify the writer and to have their image recorded. To her credit, they were given some leeway in speaking. After the written questions were exhausted, the Trustees were given the chance to ask ques- tions and it was during this time the meeting degraded to who did what in the past. Trustee Jason Spears came ready to question the values on the spreadsheet including a taxing request to the City Council dated back in 2012 or 2013 that included a special allotment to cover debt servicing. He also wondered how the Board of Trustees LOCAL VOICES had added expenditures from the fund balance that are reoccurring expenditures, but did not identify exactly what they were so the public could judge the use of the reserve funds.
