MamaMia...I've read enough of your comments poking a little fun at me with monikers like "Young Sheldon" and I totally embrace the ribbing as I signed up for that. However, I do want to address misinformation on this thread, especially around such an important topic. Firstly, our Charter does not afford the position of Mayor "veto power" as it relates to actions taken in a majority vote of City Council. The position of Mayor is an equal voting member as each member of Council. Secondly, in terms of setting the agenda, I am still working with Staff to obtain our formal policy or state statute that dictates this process, as it has not been officially articulated to me yet, and I do plan to present for formal action. Lastly, during my time on Council over the last 6 years, we have never hired or paid any position whose role charter was titled as Economic Development, both former City of Apopka employees who I have knowledge of working for the City of Maitland, neither of them were responsible for Economic Development. At the end of the day, I was completely transparent about my desire for Economic Development during my campaign to which I won, I would be doing a disservice to those that voted for me to not try to get this proven practice implemented in Apopka. As always, if you would like to discuss any concerns directly to me, my city email is kbecker@apopka.net or always available for a call or meeting.
