City Plans A Mystery Meeting

By John Kaufmann | Saratoga Springs Politics
 
According to the city's website, there will be a special meeting of the Saratoga Springs City Council on Monday, November 13, at 8:30 in the morning. There is no agenda available, and there is no information on the purpose of the meeting.
 
You would think that scheduling a meeting for 8:30 on a Monday morning after a holiday week end means that something critical has to be done. I understand that Finance Commissioner Sanghvi is leaving to visit India for a month, so that might be a contributing factor.
 
It would be interesting to know who posted this notice without an agenda and when the Council plans on letting the public know what business will be done at this meeting. So much for the transparency this Council claims they embrace.
