Agreed. From the article posted up thread the city should have seen this coming a mile away!
"In our view it's absolutely critical that the public be given notice and an opportunity to participate in shaping what goes on the ballots," Bunch said. "And here the city council clearly just tried to sneak it through, and the judge (agreed)."
A city spokesperson told KUT the city staff takes full responsibility for the mistake.
"Staff is responsible for notice and posting language for agendas," the statement said. "Staff takes full responsibility for any inconsistency with the Texas Open Meetings Act and, as such, staff will ensure that future council action items are posted to provide notice and opportunity for public comment in full compliance with the Texas Open Meetings Act."
