7:40 AM update - still no documents. No midnight post, no after hours efforts, we are now day of meeting.

It is after 7:40 AM and all is not well in Palmetto Bay for those residents and business that who rely upon Village Officials to keep their written commitments. 

The revised promise - made at an open, notice meeting was as follows (and taken from the village website: "A copy of each received bid will be accessible on the Village website under the Procurement Division section on Tuesday, April 30, 2019"

I am looking where village officials told me to look for the documents promised. Here is the actual link posted by the village to use: https://www.palmettobay-fl.gov/418/Cone-of-Silence-for-RFPs-RFQs-Bids

Palmetto Bay - where promises made in regard to Transparency are merely aspirational, but far from realistic or achievable for this present group.

See prior related post and the updates of April 30, 2019 - the day the documents were promised: Trust is important.
