"I can only say that I was at the meeting and that yes, Ed Halligan is
ruthless.
-Wolfe"
You must have arrived fashionably late. I'm going to add you to the
tally of humans! Still far short of a quorum.
The park was full of lovely people that night! Wasn't it funny to watch
everyone ignore the improperly announced meeting?
Actually Matt, I believe that it is not technically defined as a
"meeting" because of improper notice, as well as failing to have a
quorum. The definition of a meeting is explicitly written in the FOCP
bylaws. Of course, Robert's Rules of Order is also ignored when
convenient to the inner circle.
Regular citizens have been invisible to the FOCP leaders, but that FOCP
occurrence in Clark Park never legally became a meeting. It was nothing
more than a flash mob, but much more dangerous!.
Could you tell the list anything more about the discussion that night?
The FOCP members have long wanted the FOCP leaders to publicly disclose
their meeting agendas and minutes. It's because their organization is
officially credited with "representation" of the community over a park
that belongs to all the people of Philadelphia, that their DEALS
seriously impact the "public." It's extremely unethical and dishonest
for the city or anyone to pretend that FOCP represents the people of
Philadelphia or this neighborhood. But that is the official position of
the Parks and Recreation department as well as the UCD position. FOCP
business is therefore the business of all citizens of Philadelphia!
If you take the time to provide all the facts, I'll help analyze issues
that are important to inform the grass roots in the community and any
targeted activities.
Thanks,
Glenn

It's been at least two years since the FOCP has been a barely
legitimate organization under federal 501 c 3 law. They haven't had
the minimal 10% quorum at any of their dog and pony shows for at
least that long, because people of the area find their crap and
performances intolerable.
There were only 7 people at the July members meeting, plus Halligan,
who is the current ruthless commander of FOCP.
I'm sorry for the late report but Sam and I were headed back to
Boston early the next morning, and I observed the tiny gathering from
my front window 30 minutes after the scheduled start . (No banned
citizens lived closer to the Clark park redesign than Sam and I, and
we couldn't help seeing the attempt at a coven.)
The day before the lack of a quorum, FOCP posted a cryptic "agenda"
on our public list about discussing the neighbors, who returned to
park A after the lengthy closure (see list archives). But in the UC
Review, the FOCP leaders continued to defy their members and did not
post any agenda for that meeting announcement, as their members
ordered them to do 8 years ago.
Of course, they didn't want commoners to know that they were planning
new ways to attack the rights of drummers, volleyballers, chess
players, and the working class! That's why the newspaper announcement
contained no agenda as required. And our public listserv and the FOCP
members list got the cryptic coded agenda the prior day, so that
neighborhood bullies would be encouraged to show up.
Clark park was closed for an extended period of time to make "those"
people go away. (see the obnoxious ranting of Penn's mayor to better
understand the principle). FOCP leaders and their masters are
currently furious that commoners have come back to the upscale
redesigned park. Continuing the long term philosophy of the anointed
and the gentrification agenda of their masters, new attacks and
arrests against the unwanted must be planned in Clark Park!
If people in this shopping district ever choose to take back Clark
Park, I think you need to expose the FOCP organization for what it
is, and show that they have never "represented the community" nor
ever tried to be a legitimate organization following parliamentary
procedure. Representation has always been the Big Lie that Penn
depends on to rubber stamp the gentrification and privatization of
all city parks. Legal remedy is the only hope to save all the city
parks because the assholes in city hall serve the power not the people.
Ignoring FOCP and SHCA is not enough. Silence and fear got us to
this point, and silence means enslavement for future generations of
USA consumers.
