Granicus the Worst
Granicus is currently used by the City of Windcrest as the Official minutes of the City Council Meetings. Problem is Granicus does NOT function correctly. Granicus has many problem and is probably the worst product available for recording official municipal minutes.
Granicus seems to think once they have sold the product to a city they can ignore the problems with their product and simply point their finger elsewhere. They do NOT respond to email inquiries as to the issues of failed recordings.
In many industries "Customer Satisfaction" is considered the number one issue needed to increase product market share. Word of mouth and good referrals from current customers is always highly sought after. However, Granicus on the other hand, feels once you sign a contract, you are at our mercy.
Does Granicus care about Customer Satisfaction? Evidently not, as for the past few months Granicus has failed to record the official minutes of Windcrest City Council. Windcrest has resorted to recording official meeting via a tripod mounted video camera. The quality of the sound is terrible and the video is not much better.
If you are a Granicus customer you should have a Tripod video camera ready in the wings because you will need it soon.
An inferior product ultimately overloads the tech support department, then the customer has to resort to tripod video cameras as a work around for poor tech support.
It's high time to ditch Granicus and purchase a product that actually works as advertised.

Lies Yet Again- McFall again pushed Un Truths!!
During the Dec 4, 2017 City Council meeting Councilman James McFall defended his agenda item for changing City Council meeting to ONE per Month, on the 3rd Monday. McFall stated: The City Charter says, One meeting per month to be held on the 3rd Monday. When asked where in the Charter was this written. MCFall, declared "It's up to you to find it!"
This is the normal "intimidation" employed by the previous council. McFall was talking out of back side, because the Charter states NO SUCH THING as was Noted by new councilwoman Joan Pedrotti during the discussion of the agenda item.
McFall, Jacobi and Shelton took turns making Motions to Table agenda item after agenda item! You have to watch the video to understand the mayhem.
The one Major agenda item concerned the Windcrest Volunteer Fire Department, Bugle Crew. Seems there is something AMISS in the organizations filings. Without offering any additional information Jim Shelton motioned
Authorizing the City Manager to enforce the exclusive Authority of Windcrest Volunteer Fire Department Bugle Crew, to represent the City and WVFD in connection with Fundraising. To include attorney fees. This is the 1st time FUNDRAISING has been mentioned. Mmmmm??
Light up is only a few day away, Dec 9th and things are not in order.

Free Room and Board in Windcrest
Windcrest's new Fire Chief takes over, fires several long time firefighters. Empties the Dorms for himself. After arrival the Fire Chief declared the Fire Dorms a total mess, in need of major repairs and proceeded to shut them down.
One Dorm is currently completely empty and shut down for repairs. All residents, but one, of the other Dorm were told to vacate the dorm. Why?
Answer: The Fire Chief moved in! Yes, the Dorm is good enough for the Fire Chief. He now resides in the nearly empty Fire Dorm. Free utilities, free yard maintenance, free Internet and Free Cable TV. He probably pulls rank for control of the TV Remote too.
Volunteer Fireman lived in those dorms. The Dorms are Not for full time paid employees. You would think his salary would be reflect the additional benefit. Nope, Sorry, he gets the full paid employee package, Plus FREE room and board.
If he ever had any integrity he sold it taking on the mayors bidding.
Why is a paid employee allowed to reside in the Dorm?

Resign-Windcrest Ricky Cockerham
This Council Person should be recalled. The video below is from when he spoke at city council. He mentions honor, pride, citizenship, being a veteran etc. He failed to mention he was charged with a Felony after a Grand Jury indicted him. Mr. Cockerham, plead Guilty to a reduced charge in lieu of a trial. Enough said.
https://youtu.be/2k4NOaUAMkE
The charge is Public Record, available to anyone at the Bexar County Court House. Windcrest deserves people with Integrity and honesty on City Council. Mr. Cockerham has proven he lacks both, but failed to disclose that fact. Rick Cockerham should withdraw from the elections and/or Resign immediately.
