Charter Commission Survey #1 Comments Town Meeting Doesnt Work I Would Like to See the Charter Commission Be Open to Various Charter Commission Survey #1 Comments Town meeting doesnt work I would like to see the charter commission be open to various options based on community input. I dont think having a point of view this early on makes sense until all options are considered. Town meeting is completely inefficient for a town of this size. Please be fair and balanced. Look at all sides, including the current Town Meeting format. try to remember that we are a town with multiple facets. dont overlook that and try to make sure that anyone who wants to be active in government can be - dont place obstacles - be they financial or logistical - that prevent citizen involvement.. At the same time, make sure that the new government cannot be abused by either those elected or those not elected. All personel of high position should be voted in that position Town Meeting Needs to go. Town manager as well The government 'Structure' should be secondary to the fact that all governing should be EFFICIENT, TRANSPARENT & ACCOUNTABLE. The second question above is disingenuous.......direction is not as important as management, which should have plans, contingencies, and long range visions, which can change.....given all other factors, primarily economic. The mish-mash of Departments who have no communication between and among each other, especially the schools (which are the driving engine of population - and are currently a huge hot-mess) have created silos worthy of an MBA thesis. Some are fabulous, ie. DPW, Parks & Rec. Others not so much. I believe as long as Social Service agencies of all kinds are allowed to "Dover' their way into taking tax property off the rolls, and Real Estate professionals have too much say in Government, we are headed to "Lowell/Lawrence-ville". Remember BJ's suing to be in Framingham....a success story. Nowadays, we deny good productive businesses, but allow acres of real estate to rot. Where is the Economic Development in more Social Service 'schools' etc. Real Estate taxes cannot support all the Town should offer. The generation with kids in the schools are not going to stand for the BS that is that Dept for too long; they will vote with their feet. The generation whose kids have been properly served by the schools, and who have investment in their homes will sell, and this curve of economics will depress the markets, and taxes, both RE and Business will suffer. It isn't Rocket Science, guys.......we have talented people, who work hard, economics hasn't changed in a hundred years. Keep the basic factors of efficiency, accountability and transparency in the forefront, let the experts run the individual departments, but have them report to a Central Administration. Our current form of town meeting government is antiquated (my opinion anyway) and we need something better, more efficient and more modern. While I freely admit I am not 100% in-the-loop on this entire process, nor do I understand all the pros vs. cons for Town vs City, I would like to impress upon the Committee to be OPEN MINDED and weigh all options. Coming in with your pre-conceived notions and being unwilling to compromise and work together is doing the Community of Framingham a disservice. Thank you in advance for doing the hard work. Public schools should be sold. Nobody should be forced to pay taxes for an educational system to which they are morally opposed Very unhappy with Charter Commission. Don't like the idea of a mayor - has complete control, only accountability is election. Want more community involvement - move elections to Election day, not some random day in April when no one cares about voting. Fed up. No interest in Framingham becoming like a Gateway city - all these are not desirable places to live. Framingham needs more community involvement - not less. City removes almost all need for community involvement. Each distinct area of Framingham has it's own problems and interests - ie. Nobscot - changing character, traffic, delapidated plaza, downtown- crime, housing, homelessness and revitalization, Saxonville etc. And Framingham overall, needs much greater focus on schools, as they have gone downhill and it is effecting our students and real estate values. Framingham needs solid representation from each distinctive area - a mayor will not achieve this. The goals and needs of Nobscot are significantly different from downtown. Charter commission is probably not really interested in this goal. Very sad for Framingham. I'm not sure how the planning board fits into this discussion, but I think permitting of business should also be included in this discussion. While I like the CONCEPT of Town Meeting, I believe that the body of representative has become too large to be agile while at the same time does not offer adequate representation for all community members (not the fault of Town Meeting but essential nonetheless). A local government that would allow equal representation and be able to act and react more quickly and with more accurate focus would be ideal in order to assure the growth and vision of Framingham to come to full potential. I do not like the Town Meeting form of government that we have now as too many cooks spoil the broth (or in this case, too many people have too much to say). I would prefer that a professional manager run the town government with oversight from a council with elected members. Thank you. As a nearly 30 year resident of Framingham, I have been happy with the overall functioning of the town services that are provided through the property taxes paid by residential and commercial property owners. I am sure that each department endeavors to continuously improve their functional responsibilities, and with strong leadership, this will naturally continue. I have been disappointed with some decisions that have not seemed to respect residential property owners, but I do not believe that changing to a city government would diminish these kinds of decisions...they would increase. One area for change that could improve accountability would be that the town manager and the school department, through the superintendent, work together. The town manager and board of select people should have a means to block ever increasing school budgets. I have heard town meeting members a need for this change. Every town in the United States that has become a city has a higher tax consequence for its citizens after becoming a city. The insurance rates for cities are also the super majority higher than insurance rates for towns. The ability for citizen involvement is higher in a town government than city forms of government. Becoming a city puts much power in either the mayor or city manager or both and removing an elected official can be much more difficult than firing an incompetent Town Manager. I believe the strength of government is in the engagement of its citizens, and I see no direct or indirect benefit of the city form of government. I believe the Charter Commission is acting in the capacity of a very pro forma City Government group, and is NOT being transparent to that end. Of course government has its limitations, but perhaps government shouldn't act quickly on important decisions, but should weigh and balance all positions. A mayoral form of government is inherently going to be biased depending on the political slants and desires of the mayor. If one studies the outcomes of Towns that have become cities the implications are clear: higher taxes, higher insurance rates, and more bureaucracy and waste. A city form of government is not a panacea. Would like to see ALL options considered. Process seems rigged. Framingham needs to best align itself with the state; to be sure to efficiently take advantage of state funded programs and economic opportunities. These efforts need to make it easy for companies to invest and develop in town that enables increased employment. Growth of the town government needs to stop and wasteful spending needs to stop in an effort to decelerate growth of residential taxes; my property taxes are up 90% in 15 years. My income is up approx. 12%. This is not sustainable. There should be specific term limits to everyone so no single persons dominate over years. There should be restrictions against "dark" money for everyone running for whatever position. Since no form of government is perfect, I am not convinced that changing will afford a real improvement. I fear that you are too focused on forcing a change to a city government and I do not understand why that is. I really hope as you work through this issue that you clearly identify exactly what is wrong with our current system and how any proposed new system would be clearly better. This survey did not allow for any nuances of responses, such as would be the right direction with a few modifications, or the ranking of priorities didn't allow for ties or indicating some things were very important and others were not very important. Please note: The current structure of Town Meeting could listen to arguments and override the CFO, Town Manager, Selectmen, and give the schools another 2 million...not possible in other smaller, more centralized power structures. Certainly NOT if a mayor was on the school committee where fiscal decisions alone rather than education plus fiscal decisions would rule. I think it would be so helpful to have a well-designed website that is regularly updated to see what exactly is the progress or status of each outstanding item or project....following all the email threads is rather confusing and ineffective. Schools should be our first priority and attracting

  • 16 Things Every Citizen Should Know About Town Meeting
    16 Things Every Citizen Should Know About Town Meeting By H. Bernard Waugh, Jr., with 2015 Update by Cordell A. Johnston This article, written by H. Bernard Waugh, Jr., then NHMA Legal Counsel, first appeared in Town and City magazine in February, 1990. It has been updated by Cordell A. Johnston, NHMA Government Affairs Counsel, where necessary. Although this article was first written before the adoption of “SB 2,” and therefore contemplated only the “traditional” form of town meeting, almost everything in it applies to SB 2 town meetings as well. * * * * * * We keep hearing it in New Hampshire: “Town meetings don’t work anymore.” “They’re an anachronism.” “They’re rigged.” “Nothing important is decided there.” But these are self- fulfilling prophesies. Local voter apathy feeds on itself. It’s not all apathy, either. This article assumes that part of the problem is good old honest ignorance: people who’ve moved in from places without town meetings; young people who grew up in families with no tradition of participation for them to absorb; people who for years have heard their cynical friends telling them they can’t make a difference and never bothered to find out the truth. This is for them, and you. Officials and others receiving this magazine should feel free to share or reproduce this article for other voters. An informed town is in everyone’s interest. In the end, nobody benefits from voter ignorance. 1. Every Voter Is a Legislator. Those quaint sayings about town government being a “pure democracy” are true! State law refers to the town meeting as the “legislative body” (RSA 21:47).

  • Introduction to the Rules of Town Meeting
    Introduction to the Rules of Town Meeting Southborough’s Town Meeting is an open town meeting in which all registered voters may participate. Town Meeting is a deliberative assembly, conducted via a defined process, charged with considering a maximum number of questions of varying complexity in a minimum amount of time and with full regard to the rights of the majority, strong minority, individuals, absentees and all of these together. In other words, we gather for the purpose of conducting the Town’s business thoughtfully and efficiently. AUTHORITY The three elements of authority at Town Meeting are a quorum of one hundred (100) registered voters or more, the Clerk and the Moderator. Of these three, the quorum is the most important. The Town Clerk is responsible for voter registration, certification of a quorum, setting up the hall and keeping the record of the proceedings. He may also officiate Town Meeting in the absence of a Moderator. The Moderator presides at and regulates the proceedings, decides all questions of order, and makes declarations of all votes. No one may speak on an issue without being recognized by the Moderator. It is the Moderator’s responsibility to approve the distribution of materials, and persons wishing to do so must seek his permission. The Moderator appoints Tellers and alternates for the purpose of counting votes of the meeting. THE WARRANT All matters to be considered at Town Meeting must be published in the Town Meeting Warrant, which is the responsibility of the Board of Selectmen. The primary and most important purpose of the Warrant is to notify voters in advance the nature of the business to be taken up at Town Meeting.

  • The Globalization of K-Pop: the Interplay of External and Internal Forces
    THE GLOBALIZATION OF K-POP: THE INTERPLAY OF EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL FORCES Master Thesis presented by Hiu Yan Kong Furtwangen University MBA WS14/16 Matriculation Number 249536 May, 2016 Sworn Statement I hereby solemnly declare on my oath that the work presented has been carried out by me alone without any form of illicit assistance. All sources used have been fully quoted. (Signature, Date) Abstract This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive and systematic analysis about the growing popularity of Korean pop music (K-pop) worldwide in recent years. On one hand, the international expansion of K-pop can be understood as a result of the strategic planning and business execution that are created and carried out by the entertainment agencies. On the other hand, external circumstances such as the rise of social media also create a wide array of opportunities for K-pop to broaden its global appeal. The research explores the ways how the interplay between external circumstances and organizational strategies has jointly contributed to the global circulation of K-pop. The research starts with providing a general descriptive overview of K-pop. Following that, quantitative methods are applied to measure and assess the international recognition and global spread of K-pop. Next, a systematic approach is used to identify and analyze factors and forces that have important influences and implications on K-pop’s globalization. The analysis is carried out based on three levels of business environment which are macro, operating, and internal level. PEST analysis is applied to identify critical macro-environmental factors including political, economic, socio-cultural, and technological.
