On the heels of an amendment to the Texas Public Information Act, the City of Amarillo has taken an initial step toward establishing monthly and yearly limits on the amount of time city personnel spend on information requests without recovering costs attributable to that personnel time. Council members voted 4-1 to approve the first reading of Ordinance 7717, which also limits the amount of time spent on requests without recovering the costs attributable to personnel time. The lone dissenting vote was cast by council member Elaine Hays. https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__bit.ly_2ttzffh&d=DwIFaQ&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=b5NZPQUb9_r2rQ3Zd74ATT3aSs9yKyRnJLOhqJvd7fE&m=-RnfX2sZgwYYww9ohNGfJEWlxUZS5KkG5KHhLNueFHQ&s=-SXj0ldFiQAcgBAxOvc4aFkhtSDMRy41fUqS4H8pXRw&e= https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__bit.ly_2ttzffh-2B&d=DwIFaQ&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=b5NZPQUb9_r2rQ3Zd74ATT3aSs9yKyRnJLOhqJvd7fE&m=-RnfX2sZgwYYww9ohNGfJEWlxUZS5KkG5KHhLNueFHQ&s=b15zhXYWVel6qS1C3z22MnVGO50Z1FOHw-ZG41Gm0ds&e= -- Peterk Dallas, Tx [log in to unmask] Save our in-boxes! https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__emailcharter.org&d=DwIFaQ&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=b5NZPQUb9_r2rQ3Zd74ATT3aSs9yKyRnJLOhqJvd7fE&m=-RnfX2sZgwYYww9ohNGfJEWlxUZS5KkG5KHhLNueFHQ&s=yMRawsHUXBq1URyOUpsEk2Gl0mP_U4_d2k1OfcVmHqc&e= “If only there were a massive entity that I were forced to fund to tell me how I should live my life, since I’m so obviously incapable of deciding for myself.” M.
