February 25, 2012
The question is when. The City of Garland, posted that Garland’s City Council would vote on Envision Garland at the council meeting on February 7, 2012. Then a notice went out that Envision Garland was pushed off the agenda for the time being and without notice of when it will be up again for a vote.
The buzz around Garland as to why Envision Garland was pushed back, was due to city council members wanting more time to research this new comprehensive development plan.
Just in case you haven’t been following, many citizens of Garland are concerned about this new comprehensive plan named Envision Garland. Many went to City Hall and spoke out during Planning Commission meetings and City Council meetings. You can view these meetings online in the recorded meeting section – just look for agendas including Envision Garland.
Envision Garland aligns with the principles of an United Nation’s vision called Agenda 21, as well as containing vocabulary, goals, as well as city modeling designated by ICLEI a non-government organization of the United Nations, that our city has spent taxpayer dollars to become a member of. Our city council informed us that they had no idea they were a member of ICLEI, even though they paid a sum of approximately $2,000 in membership fees and received software ‘tools’ to help develop the Envision Garland plan as well as ‘help’, i.e. coaching on how to request Federal Funding for projects. One of the many downsides of such funding is that it has very specific requirements attached that usually require additional financial commitments from the taxpayers (and of course have expensive mandates attached).
