Did you get that memo?
We at Scoop know it's tough to keep up with dates. And it must be especially tough on a politician, with all those meetings, functions, hands to shake and ground to break.
Friday's update from the County Manager David McNeill referred to the schedule of meetings for 2008.
This seems to be in reference to a mix-up that Commissioner Carolyn Coleman had with the August commissioners meeting schedule. Typically, the commissioners meet on the first and third Thursdays of each month. Though July and August had only one meeting scheduled in each month -it's kind of a summer break-type thing for the staff and board.
That yearlong calendar of meetings was set in January, and has remained mostly unchanged.
In last week's work session, Coleman asked why nobody told her that there wouldn't be any meeting in early August. Apparently, she showed up on the first Thursday expecting the main event.
The schedule, McNeill noted, was set in January. And there's the calendar that goes out each week in the manager's update (This one's from Aug.1. Scroll down to page 3).
