WHILE THIS WEBSITE IS OPEN, IT IS NOT FINISHED. WE ARE STILL WORKING ON IT. E-MAIL BOB VUKANOVICH , FORMER VICE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF SURPRISE AT rvukanovich@cox.net
MY WISH FOR 2007 IS THAT KNOWLEGEABLE, CIVIC CONSCIOUS CITIZENS WITHOUT AN AGENDA FOR THEIR OWN PRIVATE GAIN, RUN FOR MAYOR AND THE THREE COUNCIL SEATS THAT WILL BECOME AVAILABLE. THE ELECTIONS IN 2007 WILL PROBABLE BE THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTIONS EVER HELD IN SURPRISE FOR OUR FUTURE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT SINCE I’VE BEEN HERE AND THATS BEEN OVER 35 YEARS .
COULD THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL WANT TO SAY THAT THEIR POSITIONS ARE FULL TIME AS A PLOY TO HELP KEEP THEIR SEATS AND TO DISCOURAGE QUALIFIED CITIZENS FROM RUNNING FOR THEIR ELECTED OFFICE . WE HAVE DEVELOPED THIS WEBSITE BECAUSE WE HAVE A HARD TIME RECEIVING INFORMATION FROM THIS CITY, NOR DO WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE WITH OUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES.
THESE WEB SITES AND BLOGS WILL PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN CREATING A CREDITABLE NEWS SOURCE THAT IS RARELY SEEN IN OUR LOCAL NEWS PAPERS AND THE ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE WITH OUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES.
WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY TO BE INFORMED, SO THAT QUESTIONS MAY BE ASKED, IDEA’S EXCHANGED AND ARTICLES WRITTEN, GOOD OR BAD, SO THAT WE AND THE CITY MAY WORK TOGETHER TO BUILD A BETTER CITY FOR THE CHILDREN OF TOMORROW.
WE WILL BE ABLE TO SHARE COMMENTS AND OPINIONS ABOUT ITEMS LONG AFTER THEY DISAPPEAR FROM THE LOCAL PAPERS. HOPEFULLY THE CITY WILL LEARN WE DO CARE AND THAT WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
WHEN APPEARING BEFORE THE COUNCIL WE ARE IGNORED AND LATER BELITTLED BY THEM IN OUR LOCAL PAPERS. THE MAYOR IS QUICK AND HAPPY TO CUT US OFF AT THREE MINUTES EVEN IF IT IS AN IMPORTANT AND VALID CONCERN.
THE COUNCIL AND CITY STAFF IS PAID BY THE CITIZENS OF SURPRISE, WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO ASK QUESTIONS. IF WE DO NOT GET THE ANSWERS NOW, WE WILL ASK THEM AGAIN AT ELECTION TIME.
I AM STILL WORKING ON THIS SITE AND WILL SAVE ALL YOUR E-MAILS SO WHEN I GO BACK ON LINE I WILL POST THEM. WE HAVE BUGS TO WORK OUT SO BEAR WITH ME.
OUR GOAL IS TO MAKE THIS A USER FRIENDLY WEB SITE. TO HAVE CITY COUNCIL, PLANNING & ZONING AND SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS ON VIDEO AVAILABALE AT ALL TIMES WHERE YOU CAN VEIW THEM AT YOUR DISCRETION.
The above was written last year, since then we have a new Mayor and Council and we hope the above will not pretain to them. They have said that they have a new direction.
