Do ya’ll see how Ms. Jacobs nor Mr. Evans wouldn’t stand up and say that it was at her or Mr. Evans’ direction that Ms. Williams rejected that RFP. Look at the body gestures that were being made from the start of this particular item (3:08). Ms. Williams was expecting Ms. Jacobs to speak up and take responsibility for it. It’s clear who the problem is and has been in these and many other matters concerning Ms. Jacobs has been in direct control of. This entire matter is both disgusting, disturbing and very, very disheartening. She ought to be ashamed of herself!

Wow! Whoever that is sitting next to Ms. Jacob’s is covering for her. Again there lies the problem. If that lady were ti tell the truth, she’d say that she was directed by and. Jacob’s. You got to think, why is everyone throwing themselves under the bus for Ms. Jacobs. Oh yeah, I forgot… SHE’S THE “QUARTERBACK” leading her team straight to doom. And she doesn’t have the moral turpitude to be honest and accept responsibility for the decisions she makes and shoves down the throats of those she supervises. She needs to go and if the City Manager won’t hold her accountable, get rid of both of them. A blind man can see what’s happening. The more I watch these meetings, the more I’m convinced that the entire City would be better served if they fired Ms. Jacobs and her protectors starting with Mr. Evans.

Ms. Lanier is trying her best to incite the residents of Riviera Beach to become angry at Mayor Felder, Mr. McCoy and Mr. Dawson for taking seriously the complaints of the employee who obviously have had to deal with unfair treatment by both the City Manager and his Assistant Ms. Jacobs. When complaints have been taken directly to the City Manager about the treatment or mistreatment of employees by Ms. Jacobs, the City Manager has not bothered to address their concerns. I don’t know why that is, but it appears that the City Manager doesn’t care because it’s not him being mistreated. That’s sad. Ms. Lanier spouts off saying it’s a witch hunt because she is in the sandbox with those in favor with Ms. Jacob’s favors. And Ms. Jacobs has her favorites and they are only favorites as long as they go along with her regardless of whether her demands are fair or legal. All 30 employees can’t be lying on her. It’s not like they all work in one department. They are spread throughout the City’s various departments. Those employees who came forward should be commended for coming forward to expose the wrongdoings of Ms. Jacobs and the failure of the City Manager to investigate their concerns. Hopefully, they are ALL protected under the Whistleblowers Act. And finally, if the City would accept my contribution to the cost of furthering this investigation , I will glad gift them the funds to do so.

Ms. Lanier needs to stop trying to protect Ms. Jacob’s and Mr. Evan’s and take a good look at their actions and failures. And stop trying to incite the citizens against the men on the City Council who are much more intelligent and truly interested in what’s best for the City and its residents. She’s doing her best to look smart but when a person can’t be honest, that’s not being very smart. It’s more like being self-serving!

It’s interesting that none of these individuals have a development background except Spiritus and Lawson; so how are they qualified to vet these individuals? Lanier was even fired from her last job. Let experts vet experts. This is the reason this City is constantly having to rehire.

I think it’s an excellent idea for the Director of the UD to report directly to City Council and fully remove the City Manager and his Assistant City Manager from all authority over the day to day operations of the UD. Mr. Lowe was the sacrifice for the UD. Having had his hands tied by the Assistant Manager who has been allowed to be a dictator over the UD staff. It’s time to recognize the failure and its reasons for such and make whatever decisions necessary to allow for the UD to run independently and not under the direction of the City Manager’s office. Thank GOD the motion passed!

McCoy is the only one that knows the charter and the Sunshine Law. I'm hoping with Spiritis some things will move forward. This board has no harmony, no peace, and no professionalism. Holding staff accountable? Well, who is holding the council accountable? They are making more mistakes than staff. Evans - needs to be gone Lawson - needs to be gone Lanier - needs to be gone And a new council birthed!!!!!
@VPofSocialResponsibility5 ай бұрын
Spiritus is beholden to McCoy bc McCoy assisted him in his appeal to get Julia Botel off the ballot. Miller-Anderson and Lanier are beholden to Botel bc she helped get Lanier elected during her first race; when Lanier had no mainland support, so Botel persuaded Singer Island to vote her in. Botel was also instrumental in getting Miller-Anderson elected during this most recent election bc Miller-Anderson lost a lot of mainland support to her opponent. So now they both owe Botel. As for Lawson… he appears to be swinging out here solo. He is no longer aligned with McCoy after their altercation and Botel never liked Lawson so he doesn’t have the support of the two Botel flunkies, Miller-Anderson and Lanier. Hopefully, they will put these fake allegiances aside, more importantly put their egos aside, and each of them do what’s best for the City. But that’s too much like right… so get your popcorn 🍿 ready‼️‼️

We now have a white man chairing the City Council of a majority black city, because they were unable and/or unwilling to get past their own petty differences. He was not even technically “elected”to this seat and had only held the position for less than 10 mins before having to be selected as chair bc of the division amongst black electeds. Shame on Lanier, Miller-Anderson, Lawson and McCoy. They did a complete disservice to the residents of Riviera Beach and should be completely ashamed of themselves
@michaellemar29045 ай бұрын
I agree with you and they should be ashamed. However, I been knowing Glynn Spiritis for some time and he is about right not black or white. The existing council before him being elected have so much stuff going on amongst them until they cannot get it together. It's more mess to come behind this because they are changing laws and making them up as they go to benefit them. Lawson, Lanier, and Evans are the first to be gone because they are doing so much wrong and violating the Sunshine Law and it's just a minute before they blow the cover off of it all!!!!

@@SteveRoman-ls2fp perhaps you haven’t been paying attention but there has been a racial divide in this City for a long time. And while it is often masked as “the island” vs “the mainland” or “the Westside” it is divided by race. Just one year ago the Singer Island representative made comments that included a racial undertone regarding black residents from the “Westside” partying on the Island. Now Singer Island is riddled with homeless and drug users, but Singer Island residents go up in arms for organized gathering of black folks. This was in 2023, Sir. So Sir, we share the same sadness. It gives me no pleasure in saying it, but the truth is what it is, whether it’s blatantly stated here or not. And until this community does more than just express its sadness and actually bridge the gap (literally and figuratively), with all due respect, my comments stand. With that said, I sincerely hope that you are well.
