OPINION
It would appear that City Manager Tim Commisso and citizen Stephen White have different views on professional courtesies.
White was told that the Staff Report going to Council for the September 14th meeting of the CSSRA – Corporate Service, Strategy, Risk and Accountability would include his report as an Addendum and that if he wanted to delegate he would have to register.
Note something that happens in polite households – and if Burlington is anything – it is polite
He adds that “ If they sit on it until the 14th, and don’t release it before, then in fairness they should have advised Julie and I as a professional courtesy.”
So far the promised report has not been seen by anyone we know.
The city certainly has its own definition of “engagement” – something you talk about when it is to your advantage but neglect when it has an odour that isn’t going to pass the smell test.
This is not what the bulk of the people in Burlington think their city is about.
Some people at city hall need to change their diaper.
