[RP TownTalk] Emergency Rekeying of Town Hall

[Jonathan Ebbeler]

Mayor Archer -

Why was it necessary to engage Ernie's Locks in May at a cost of $344.95 (invoice attached) for an emergency re-keying of Town Hall?  Wouldn't it just have been cheaper to ask for my keys back?  I would have been happy to return them when I was back in town and able to do so.

It seems decidedly unprofessional to spend $344.95 in tax payer money to do this.  It seems an odd thing to do.  We did not rekey the building when there were changes in Councilmembers, when Councilmembers resigned, or when one of our Councilmembers was arrested and later convicted of multiple felonies.  Other than my resignation, what prompted the need for you to make this request?

Are there documents you had concern that I would see if I had access to Town Hall?  I can just request whatever I want via a Public Information Act request, although it was with some amusement I saw the denial of production of information unless I pre-paid the town $6200.  This behavior is not that of an open and transparent administration.

Your continued silence on issues that matter to people is inappropriate.
