Fred Stresau, board member of the Fort Lauderdale Planning & Zoning Board, received more than 100 emails from the public about the Bahia Mar condo-marina-hotel compex a developer hopes to build on city land at the beach.
He blames Fort Lauderdale City Commissioner Charlotte Rodstrom for distributing his email address in an email to her constituents, urging them to give their opinions about the project.
Stresau, who has served on city boards for 45 years believes that if there is an opinion about a city project, it should be offered in public at a meeting, "so that all concerned can hear and respond equally and accordingly."
He is deleting the onslaught of emails, unread. There is no city rule saying board members are required to read their emails.
Rostrom maintains she was ""just trying to make it more convenient for the public to give input. Would they prefer the public call them at home? It's a public process. We are public servants. We are here to serve the public."
