The Police and Fire Commission Meeting for August 20, Part 1

Whitewater’s Police and Fire Commission will meet tonight. Here’s the first of some quick questions.

1. Who prepares the agenda? By Wisconsin statute, the PFC oversees the police department, not the other way around. One who drafts a meeting agenda typically controls the meeting.

The current PFC agenda, like others before it, says that it was “Sent to PFC members.” They should be sending it to the Municipal Building – did this agenda and those before it come from the department, not citizens?

It’s easy to say that it’s drafted by citizens, but sent by the city. The agendas are so alike a common municipal draftsman is more probable.
