Spencer, please explain to me how much is owed in back real estate taxes and special assessments in Lauren's Bay.

Please explain to the voters that, over your tenure as a City Council person and as a JEDO member, you've been unable to collect all that was due to the city of Topeka.

Re: KORA

Please make sure Mr. McClure receives this information, as I know it is compiled.

Also, can you please provide Mr. McClure and myself an accounting of the total dollar amount that the taxpayers have had to pay out on the College Hill development.

Thank you,

Spencer

It is generally considered inappropriate for a mayor or any presiding officer to eat while leading a city council meeting, especially when governed by Robert's Rules of Order. Here are the reasons why:

·         Maintaining Impartiality and Decorum: The role of the chair is to facilitate a fair and orderly discussion, ensuring all voices are heard and the meeting remains productive. Eating can be distracting for both the mayor and other participants, potentially undermining the seriousness of the meeting and giving an impression of casualness or lack of respect for the process.

·         Avoiding Disruptions: Eating during a meeting can be noisy and distracting, potentially hindering productive dialogue and collaboration. Loud chewing, the clanking of silverware, or talking with a full mouth can detract from the focus on the meeting's agenda.

·         Upholding Professionalism: The mayor, as the leader of the city council meeting, sets the tone for professionalism and decorum. Eating while presiding can create an image of unprofessionalism and disregard for meeting protocols, potentially impacting public perception and trust in the leadership.

·         Focusing on Discussion: Under Robert's Rules of Order, the chair, especially in a larger group, is expected to be a facilitator of discussion rather than an active participant in it. Eating while presiding can be seen as a distraction from this primary role, hindering the chair's ability to remain attentive and guide the discussion effectively.

·         Respect for the Participants: Other council members and meeting attendees deserve the undivided attention of the presiding officer. Eating during the meeting can be perceived as disrespectful, indicating that the chair's attention is divided or that the concerns of the participants are not being fully valued. 

While not explicitly prohibited by Robert's Rules of Order, eating while presiding is widely discouraged as a matter of good meeting etiquette and professionalism.
