Re: Fwd: KORA

Good Evening,

I'm sorry you were spoke out in the manner you were the other day. In my opinion...unprofessional. I would think if your name (or anyone's name) was mentioned, there would be an opportunity for any clarification to be stated. I still don't think, feel or believe (4 minutes) is much time to say much. Also, are the public comments recorded and become part of the minutes? If not, I think it would be relevant to require or mandate they are part of record.

Our city is crumbling and seems so divided. I'm sad and angered that this has happened. There are so many thing's that are so far out of control (homeless, mentally ill, drug and alcohol abuse, neglect of roads and buildings, etc.). This has to stop and we need to have Leader's, who are for the people and not their damn pockets or all these favor given and/or handed out.

I hope you are elected...You are what we need. Have a great evening.

Henry,

 

"Roberts Rules of Order Revised" and The City of Topeka Governing Body Rules & Procedures govern meeting proceedings including public comment. View the City of Topeka GB Rules & Procedures online here.  These rules address the conduct of meetings or other procedural matters, such as the order of business, content of reports or length of time that may be spent on a topic of discussion etc.  KOMA mandates that the meeting must be conducted in a way that the public may observe or listen to the proceedings.  

 

Please review GB Rules & Procedures 2.9, 5.5 and 8.11.

 

Thank you.

What is the current city policy for public comment @ open meetings? 

 

The Kansas Open Meetings Act (KOMA), KSA 75-4317 does NOT require public comment. Do the council rules supersede KOMA?

In the realm of real estate transactions, an open listing represents a dynamic arrangement wherein a property is made available for sale through multiple real estate agents simultaneously. This distinctive approach allows for a broader reach and increased exposure of the property to potential buyers within the market. 

  

At its core, the concept of an open listing embodies a competitive environment among real estate agents, each vying to secure a buyer for the property in question. This competitive dynamic can incentivize agents to employ various marketing strategies, leverage their networks, and actively engage in the process of showcasing the property to prospective buyers. 

  

One of the primary advantages of an open listing is its potential to maximize the property's visibility, thereby enhancing the likelihood of a swift and favorable sale. With multiple agents actively promoting the property, it is more likely to capture the attention of a diverse pool of interested parties, ultimately increasing the chances of securing a suitable buyer. 

  

Moreover, the decentralized nature of an open listing grants property owners the flexibility to engage with multiple agents concurrently, without being bound by exclusivity agreements. This freedom empowers owners to assess the effectiveness of different agents' approaches and make informed decisions regarding their representation. 

  

However, it is crucial to acknowledge the inherent complexities associated with open listings. The absence of exclusivity can lead to challenges in coordinating efforts among various agents, potentially resulting in miscommunications or overlaps in marketing strategies. Additionally, the lack of a dedicated agent exclusively representing the property may diminish the level of personalized attention and advocacy it receives in the market. 

  

Furthermore, the competitive nature of open listings may inadvertently foster a race to secure a buyer, potentially compromising the integrity of the selling process. Agents may prioritize closing deals swiftly over diligently vetting potential buyers or negotiating optimal terms on behalf of the property owner. 

  

In conclusion, while open listings offer distinct advantages in terms of maximizing visibility and fostering competition among real estate agents, they also present inherent complexities and potential drawbacks. Property owners should carefully weigh the benefits and challenges associated with this approach and consider consulting with experienced real estate professionals to navigate the intricacies of the market effectively.
