Things That Make You Go Hmmmm…..
Is it circumventing the Open Meetings Act to provide members of a city body tours of a property in pairs so as to avoid a quorum? Is there an intent to be less than transparent in city business by adding a controversial item to the docket of a public body just 24 business hours before they are set to meet – especially when one side of the issue is fully privy to this action and the other isn’t? Does that indicate an effort by city staff to stack the deck on a matter that is to be decided by a municipal quasi-judicial body?
All these questions and more are being asked today by folks calling me about Monday’s Board of Adjustment hearing on the SandRidge Commons development.

District Court would support the decisions of the two bodies that have independently approved the application. Such an exercise would waste months of time and thousands of dollars, for what?
The “public process and rules” HAVE been followed. If the BOA upholds the DDR, the opposition needs to stop behaving like spoiled children… taking it to court would only further highlight their impudence.
I believe SandRidge is acting like the spoiled child in all of this. No willingness to compromise when so many other options are on the table.
I don’t want this city’s way of doing business to be associated with municipalities such as Kansas City and Chicago. In my opinion that seems were we are going.
Let’s stop this behavior now.
Is district court the only way to get an untainted decision.
