There are very many people in Minneapolis who are familiar with the importance of accurate and timely record-keeping and document flow.
Apart from the normal functions of private enterprise, agencies of various stripes, and the necessities of prudent management in the academic world, we have a plethora of citizens who have gone through the rigors of NRP growing pains, our many political processes, and simply put, the niceties of public and private discourse. This is how we function in all manner of civic activity. No news here. Whatever possesses the personnel of park board management, civil servants and elected commissioners alike, of the notion that they are somehow not bound to these basic rules of conduct? It is simply shameful that as important and really stellar a public asset as our parks system must now be held up as a grotesque aberration. Commissioners are part-time and we take the luck of the draw on that. But professional staff who are so clearly out of step with common business methods and established civic practices aren't worth the salaries and respect that ought to be their due.
