Clary's Magical Meeting

Perhaps nothing better demonstrates Hendersonville Mayor Jamie Clary's incompetence than the recent exchange over whether or not and when to have a BOMA meeting.

The Tennessean has more on this situation that is an embarrassment to our fair city:

There was much ado about a special-called meeting of the City of Hendersonville Board of Mayor and Alderman held Friday to appropriate funds for repairs to Mary's Magical Place, which was damaged in recent flooding.

The board voted to appropriate general funds for the repairs, which will be reimbursed by insurance.

Dozens of emails were exchanged between Mayor Jamie Clary and aldermen regarding the need — or lack thereof — to cancel the board's regularly scheduled March 26 meeting.

Canceling the March 26 meeting was not necessary. Enough board members for a quorum responded to Clary affirming they could attend.

But Clary canceled anyway, scheduling a special-called meeting for March 18.

Not enough board members attended that meeting for a quorum, but many reiterated they could attend the regular meeting. Clary instead scheduled a second special-called meeting for March 22, going so far as to email Fire Chief Scotty Bush to ask him to have firefighters on hand to assist one of the aldermen facing health issues into City Hall from his car.
