Vision Committee fails to meet again

For the second time since he became Chairman of the Chiefland Vision Committee, Mayor M. Teal Pomeroy was forced to declare the meeting "cancelled due to lack of a quorum."

There were too few members to hold the Nov. 13 meeting, but the day offered an opportunity for another member to quit.

Doug King, a charter member since the Vision Committee formed in 1997, resigned effective that day. King is the only original member who had remained on the committee up until that day.

Now, five of the 15 members of the Chiefland Vision Committee have resigned since the last successful meeting, which was Aug. 14. With a third of the members resigning since Pomeroy took the chair, and with it being a quarter of a year since there has been a successful meeting, the future looks dim for the Vision Committee.

King said he quit because he was recently advised the Vision Committee is subject to the Sunshine Law. King should have been aware of this truth ever since he joined the committee, but the city administration and legal staff may have failed to remind committee members of this truth enough for them to consider it in years gone by.
