He added, "They said that [Goodrich] lot is full. That is the statement by the city, that it is full." AN APOLOGY On May 20, three county commissioners — Barbetta, Robinson and Carolyn Mason — expressed to Marbut their displeasure with city leaders grilling him the previous evening during the City Commission meeting. "I would like to apologize for what I saw as rude and unprofessional treatment of you as you made your presentation," said Mason, who attended the meeting. "Personally, I am apologizing." Robinson, who also attended the city meet- ing, said it is reasonable to "question things [but] not OK to attack someone in a way to personally undermine their integrity." Marbut was questioned extensively by Vice Mayor Susan Chapman and Mayor Willie Shaw, with their focus on data provided by homeless shelters. They interrupted Marbut at times. "Stop! Time out," Shaw yelled at one point as Marbut was answering a ques- tion. Then Shaw immediately asked another question. "Thank you for sticking it out with us," Robinson told Marbut Tuesday. "Most of us recognize we have a problem and are trying to solve it." Mason reiterated that sentiment. "I am excited, Dr. Marbut, with your stick-to-it-ness." Barbetta said he felt Marbut handled the City Commission situation well. % THE SARASOTA News Leader Old school journalism. 21st century delivery.
