[b]The city induced thousands of people to rely on that south entrance.[/b]  When the city chose to hush up (and it was the city's choice, not a confidentiality requirement), the city's behavior was just plain dirty.  Whether that decision was the council's or the city manager's or the deputy's or whomever doesn't;t matter.  If it was a mistake, there was a year to fix it, and no one even checked.  The decision was the city's.  Everything deeper than that is just internal finger-pointing.

1. Most of those people bought prior to June 2017.

2.  Its not at all clear to me that the staff did not think it was part of the confidentiality requirement.

3. No one checked, because they were sure they were right.

4. Who is at fault matters, because the Deputy City Manager is not on the ballot.  I am not going to vote against good candidates because one city staffer screwed up  on one issue.   If you think [b]Feely or Ray or Aguirre or whomever can guarantee you staff perfection[/b] on every complex procurement, you are naive, IMO.  [/quote]

Absolutely right.  They can't.  But if they won't coddle staff and will put the city manager on the ropes when he treats residents, permit applicants, real estate investors, and everybody else so arrogantly, then it's an improvement.  If this was all so out-of-character, maybe it would be different.  It's not.  It's just one thing after another.
