Last night's Lake Worth Commission Meeting on Rules of Procedure

Resolution 44-2019 was on last night's agenda to Change the Rules of Procedure of placing items on the Agenda and how long discussion takes place. This was all done for Omari Hardy and his attempted coup of June 25 to get a vote passed when two of our commissioners were out of town. He thought he would have a majority on the dais to agree with him on ADU's with him and Herman Robinson "for" and Scott Maxwell against. Fortunately it didn't work out that way.

The best part of this video is the last 5 minutes.  Scott Maxwell moved to close the discussion and that passed on a 3/2 vote. At that point it should have gone to a workshop as it was over their 30 minute rule.

The Commission then went back to the original motion to approve the Resolution. I asked the city clerk about the original motion and she said, "I believe the motion to approve Resolution 44-2019 was made by Commissioner Maxwell, seconded by Vice Mayor Amoroso and failed by a vote of 2/3 with Amoroso, Robinson and Hardy against. Still confusing.
