Why are Windcrest staff resumes hidden from the citizens?

Mayor still "stonewalling" requests for resumes.

Alan Baxter replied to my email request(s) for a copy of the City Manager's (CM) resume with "white noise" and deflection and a ramble about "participatory government".  None, NONE of his comments had any bearing on my request.  He never explained WHY the City Manager's resume was unavailable, nor did he promise to correct that deficiency. 

It is important to note that the City Manager refused to answer my emails, and the Mayor did not direct the CM to conduct the "customer service is #1" activity that is bally-hooded in all the press releases. 

I believe the City's Personnel Manual requires resumes to be on file (unless it is now "under revision" to allow hiding the resumes).  So the City violates it's own personnel policies.

If you want to apply some pressure to help reform this arrogant and autocratic and deceptive cabal, go to City Hall and put in a Freedom of Information request for the resumes of the City Manager, the Municipal Finance Officer and the Public Works Director.  If you don't get a copy, come to the next
Council meeting and speak as a Citizen to be heard.  Maybe a room full of outraged voters will spur some corrective action.
