Still waiting on documents and answers from St. Augustine Beach Mayor Undine Celeste Pawlowski George about her meeting with a local business that wants St. Augustine Beach to use its smartphone app for parking, in a tiny town with some 6000 souls, covering only 1.87 square miles.
Waiting for answers.
And as UN Ambassador Adlai Stevenson once said to the Soviet Ambassador, during the Cuban Missile Crisis "I'm prepared to wait until Hell freezes over for an answer."
Dear Mayor George and Ms. Raddatz:
Please respond fully to my Request No. 2018-70.
- With whom did Mayor Undine Celeste Pawlowski George meet about the prospective acquisition of a smart phone parking app for the City of St. Augustine Beach?
- Why?
- When?
- Where?
- How long was the meeting?
- Did Mayor George or others take any notes?
- What is the name of the corporation whose representative(s) you met with?
- Who are the beneficial owners of that corporation?
- Please provide all of the calendar entries, time records, notes, emails and handouts.
- Did Mayor George ever communicate with the City Attorney about the meeting? Please provide documents.
- Did Mayor George speak to the City staff about the meeting? Please provide documents.
- What was the purpose of the meeting?
- What was the agenda for the meeting? Please send.
- What disclosure or documentation was there of the meeting prior to its being mentioned at the March 19, 2018 workshop meeting?
- What legal authority or precedent is there for a Mayor meeting with a prospective vendor in a jurisdiction that has a City Manager form of government?
- Mayor George stated that CFO Melissa Burns said no competitive bidding would be required because the prospective vendor would charge 35 cents to each automobile drive for each transaction and that the City would not be purchasing anything. Please provide the legal basis for this supposition or conclusion and kindly provide any opinion from the City Attorney or the Attorney General consistent with Ms. Burns' ex parte "legal advice" to Mayor George, who is herself a licensed attorney.
- What City of St. Augustine purchasing rules apply to meetings between Commissioners and prospective vendors?
- What City Charter provisions apply?
- What ethics opinions apply?
- How might City policies, practices and procedures be improved, clarified or amended in the future concerning meetings between Commissioners and prospective vendors?
- Does Mayor Undine George plan on having any more meetings with prospective vendors? If so, will she seek advance legal opinions and direction from fellow Commissioners?
Please call me to discuss.
Thank you.
With kindest regards, I am,
