Century Cancels Council Meeting After Failing At Public Notice

October 31, 2020

The regular Century Town Council meeting that was scheduled for Monday night has been canceled after the town failed to provide adequate public notice of a location change.

The council normally meets the first and third Mondays of the month. At their last meeting in October, they decided to move the November 2 meeting from town hall to Century Ag Building. The change was made because the council chambers at town hall will be unavailable due to securely stored voting equipment for the general election on Tuesday.

But the town never provided the legally required public notice of the location change, prompting a decision on Friday to cancel the meeting.

Agenda items will be moved forward to the November 16 meeting.

    Century, LoL.
    Why is it still even a town? Residents and businesses would be just as well off, and maybe better off, if it were dissolved.

    “Baker Act” the whole of the Century Town Council and their employees.
    TCC is totally Unresponsible and a threat to the health, wellbeing and goodness of the People of Century.

    Are the “powers that be” really so stupid they keep making mistakes? Or do they just think the laws don’t apply to them? Some of these people have been in power long enough they should know better! I think they are just crooks who do not care…otherwise one of them would be in charge of seeing what the law says about what they are doing…or NOT doing! Shameful…

    Imagine that another failure to communicate. Whats new with this bunch. Must have been something on the aggendia that needed to wait until after the election.

    They didn’t learn from the past failures to provide required public notice….OR they are incompetent….OR they don’t care to follow the requirement of the law. Either way someone needs to be fired. When will Century’s charter be taken away?

    And is anyone surprised by this? Likely not because Century continually fails at every basic governmental function.

    What incompetence! The front office assistants should be fired. At the least put on probation.
