Through a properly executed KORA request, NOlathe was able to retrieve documents that represent the agenda and items discussed at the Johnson County Board of Commissioners’ “Retreat” on February 10, 2011.  (Held off site and only announced prior that day.)

Now keep in mind this “Retreat” was held among the quiet halls of Johnson County Community College.  There is no digital recording of the meeting and there is no Transcript or Journal.  Notes taken by the attendees are not subject to KORA.  The premise of the “Retreat” is learning how “to work with each other”.  So let’s now look at what happened VERY shortly following the non-recorded meeting “Retreat”.

By eliminating the transcripts there is no longer any written record of discussions during any meeting.  Just like the “Retreats”.  The journals only record motions and votes. 

Also in those quiet halls of JCCC, the BOCC actively discussed combining the Commissioners’ Office and the County Manager’s Office transferring almost all authority to the Manager’s Office.  And guess what happened.  Here we find 37964602262011021011792  and this

I know just what you’re asking “What about the County Clerk”?  In private they discussed that also here  37964302262011023711792  and we find this

There is no argument that the Johnson County Government is a dues paying member and active participant in the ICLEI.  A good handbook for this Socialist Group is http://www.idrc.ca/openebooks/448-2/ .  Consolidation of governments from the top-down and from the bottom-up is a major part of removing the folks from the electorate process, our Republic.  Also revealed here http://www.iclei.org/documents/Global/icle_biennial98-99.pdf
