Nihart tells him that she'll make some calls and gives Rhodes marching orders to go back and to show some backbone this time. BOOM! It gets done and now we have Rangers and aren't losing money maintaining our beach facilities.<br /><br />Report on Palmetto Streetscape project declares that funding comes up short. Nihart remembers a 2008 bond refinancing that set aside $1.5 mil from the savings for the project. No one else remembers this (I guess Digre was asleep again) and the $1.5M can't be found on the books anywhere. Nihart tells staff, yeah, I'm pretty sure it's there somewhere, so how about you look for it in the city hall sock drawer a little harder and do your jobs. BOOM! The $1.5 million is discovered in a missed bank account.

It's called a serial meeting. If a majority of council members communicate in person or by phone or email about "any matter within the jurisdiction of the body" they are violating the Brown Act. Even if they communicate through non-councilmember third parties, they are still violating the Brown Act if a majority are agreeing to support or oppose anything that may come before them on a future agenda.
