		<description>Looks like they did their homework and have a good handle on the issues with no need for comments from the peanut gallery.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m gonna have to agree with most of the comments thus far.  Seems that the majority of the time I read about the Century City Council meetings in the paper or on NorthEscambia.com, it comes down to &quot;we hear you, but we&#039;re not listening.&quot;  Why bother going if that&#039;s all your gonna get anyway?</description>

		<description>&gt;&gt;Did they announce the meeting to the public weeks in advanced by newspaper and by the web ?

They don&#039;t exactly have to do it that way, in most cases.  But yes. legal notices ran about the budget hearings (including on NorthEscambia.com) plus it was a regular, always happens council meeting on the second Monday of the month.

It was just a really, really strange thing that no one was at a regular meeting. Century has 5-6 &quot;citizens that attend most meetings, plus visitors from time to time.</description>

		<description>In the Internet age, it is not necessary to be there in person. You can review the budget in its tentative form before hand on the northescambia.com website from Sept 9th. The council members have public emails and phone numbers you can use to ask for clarifications or complain during the following week leading up to final approval.

There is no tax increase or millage increase. Spending increased funded by grants. So why would anybody need to be there for the meeting?

The first person from Century to gripe here will get the logical follow up question: &quot;Why weren&#039;t you at the meeting, then?&quot;</description>
