I joined a group on Facebook called “Altus, (state) Opinions and Discussions” and tried to post the following questions and look at how these idiots answered me! THIS is how intelligent questions get answered!!! (Hence the reason for the picture I posted.)

@ Rick, David, & Chad (three of our councilmen over the city)
I have posted this question twice now and none has bothered to answer me so I’m specifically putting the three of you in this post so that perhaps one of you will.
Question – why are some meetings held at noon? How are those different from the regular council meetings and how often do they take place? Are they open to the public or just council / city people? Are agendas provided at these meetings like they are at regular council meetings and can a person get copies of the agenda if they aren’t able to attend a meeting? Are they online perhaps?
Lloyd
Miss,
I would bring your attention to the Oklahoma Open Meeting Act. The City follows both the letter and spirit of this Act in all public meetings.
You may read about it at http://www.foioklahoma.org/OpenMeeting.pdf
I hope that helps.
Belinda
All meetings are posted by the City Clerk's office according to the open meetings act - look by the east door of the city complex. All meetings are open to the public.

@ Lloyd - Actually no it doesn’t. First of all the link doesn’t work on this computer, secondly I want someone who actually attends these meetings here in Altus to answer these questions. I mean I appreciate you taking the time to answer me (that’s better than being completely ignored like I have been) but that doesn’t help me at all, I can’t even read it.
@ Belinda – I appreciate your answer as well but that still does not tell me what exactly happens at these meetings, why they are held at noon or different from the regular council meetings.
@ Others – please if you do not specifically attend these meetings and can answer these questions please do not answer this post. Thank you.
Derek
I would like to add that as the Emergency Management Coordinator, Lloyd does attend many of the City Council meetings. As a former employee of the City, I did see the postings on the east door of City Hall. I have also attended a great many of City Council Meetings. The noon meetings are similar to any other meetings, in so much as they don't always involve the same matters. As far as not wanting anyone to post, this is a free community social page and anyone is allowed and encouraged to post on any one of these threads. If you do not want to read them then don't. If you want an answer only from the Councilman then I recommend that your send them a direct message.
Tim
my advise, go to one of the noon meetings, and observe, after all it is a open public meeting, my opinion,
Gene
i have been to several, one time we sacrificed a chicken, danced around a fire and stared at the sun the whole time.
Tim
you forgot the swans
Gene
That was at one of the "secret" meetings we are not to talk about.
Peggy Sue
@ Derek – First I added their names to the top of this post so that should have told yall that it was for them. Secondly I did not know who Lloyd was and that he attended the meetings.
@ Tim – Thank you, I would but I don’t get the paper so I never know when they are until afterwards.
And why are yall attacking me?! I’m trying to ask specific questions and get specific answers and yall act like I’m trying to touch the Holy Grail!!!
