UPDATE: So this is interesting. About 2 weeks ago someone told me that the Pavilion holds their Annual Meeting in June of each year (traditionally) usually the 3rd or 4th week of the month. So I get one of my city friends to ask one of their Pavilion friends. They confirmed it was today, but never got a time. My assumption was it would be at noon during a board meeting. I called the general information line yesterday to confirm a time, I told the operator I was looking for the time of the ‘Annual Meeting’. I was very clear that was the meeting I was looking for. He politely grabbed the schedule for today and said, “Yup, 8 AM, Belbas Theater”. While I found the time to be unusual, I stopped holding my breath about the way they do things at the Pavilion years ago.
This morning I showed up to the Belbas, and before the meeting started I noticed on the big screen that it was a meeting about radio protocols. Darrin Smith was there, so I asked him. “Isn’t this the annual meeting?” He said, “Oh no.” I asked if they have an annual meeting, he said, “Well, kinda.” I asked when it was? Darrin replies,  “We just kinda make one of our board meetings an annual meeting.” Then he offered to have lunch sometime.
Maybe lesson learned here is not to post about meetings before they have them? But trust me, I know the bigger lesson here.
It was a Quarterly All-Staff Meeting.
Kinda need to buy Smith lunch. He’ll be gone soon but Huether will give him a new title for something else that must be disguised from failure. Not Director of Parking, he did that proving we don’t need one and there’s no such thing.
Is it fair to assume that the lesson is that, when lobbying the Pavilion to consider making the Belbas available for a wider array of entertainment options, that Darrin Smith was not what you had in mind?

Close.
More scrutiny of what is and is not going on needs to happen. What once was a great resource for the community is now a building of broken down bathrooms and incompetence rising to over blown titles.
