Sorry, Boomer. I misinterpreted what you said.

Hello, Boomer,
Wanted to answer your questions about yesterday's meeting.
Organizers notified both print and broadcast media of the luncheon meeting at the Ayan Cafe. They weren't having a formal meeting and there was no agenda. It was a get-together of the Emporia Human Relations Commission and the city commission, with city manager Matt Zimmerman and city attorney Blaise Plummer also attending.
(The city commission has luncheon meetings with other boards. For example, it meets once a year with the Friends of the Zoo board of directors and zoo personnel. Media always is notified even though there is no agenda nor is any action taken.)
Whenever more than two commissioners meet with a city official or board, the open meetings law requires media notification. Obviously, both print and broadcast chose to attend the noon meeting at the restaurant.
The story about that meeting was not posted 15 minutes early; I didn't write it until later Wednesday afternoon and it was posted today.
You may be confusing the meeting at the cafe with the actual city commission meeting, which was held at 1:30 the same afternoon. Gazette reporter Brandy Nance covered that meeting, so there were two separate stories about two separate meetings involving the city commission. One was informal; one actually had an agenda on which action was taken.
Hope this helps explain the meetings question.
Bobbi

Stavros74, I'd like to talk to you if you wouldn't mind. Please e-mail me at mlynar@emporiagazette.com. The "contact" function isn't functioning within this story's postings so I've been unable to reach you electronically. Thanks, Bobbi

Hello, Posters,
I need some information about the meeting planned for this evening. I'm the only reporter The Gazette has in town until Monday and I have a major conflict of times/events this evening.
The geneaology society has reserved the meeting room at the public library, so I know that is not available tonight. The posts seemed to indicate meeting outside the library, but I may be misinterpreting that, since it will be dark and cold by 6 p.m.
We would like to cover this, but need to know exactly where and when the meeting will be -- or has it been cancelled to wait until Matt Z. and the commissioners get back from the League of Municipalities meeting and can attend?
Thanks,
Bobbi Mlynar

Hello, Netloafer,
Would like to talk to you about your 501(c)(3) and its relationship to the current situation. The Web site is not allowing me to respond to you directly, so am using this forum as a contact point. Please give me a call at 342-4805.
Thanks,
Bobbi
