The Mayor terminated a well-respected and accomplished
member of the Planning Commission. Dick Majewski
received a letter citing "...it is necessary for the City to head in a
different direction." I surmise the
truth may be closer to the fact that Dick supports following procedure and is
not afraid to question the disregard of ordinances and codes. In the Dec. 5 post, the majority of the quotes to this nature can be attributed to Dick.
You can see in the notes he was vocal and worked to ensure policy is followed. As he stated, “The process is not the
problem; it is how the process is being handled.” He made his point that things
cannot be done behind closed doors. In return, the Mayor made her point.
Why cast aside someone that plays fair and was a dedicated public
servant with vast amounts of knowledge and experience? Who is better suited to
navigate a different direction? Few others will have the qualities that Dick
possesses; especially the willingness to stand up for what is right. What agenda could the City want pushed through
that they are afraid he might scrutinize? Won’t it be interesting to see who
the Mayor appoints now?
The other member that is no longer seated has served 30
years on the commission.
