A flip decision? Well, yes and no

It would never occur to this Town Clowncil to make the two companies rebid against each other. Why that would save the town money! They'd rather clown around.
Who tossed the coin? Was it Susan Starkey?

How was it a tie when one bidders was thousands below the other?? If both companies were well qualified then the bid should have gone to the lowest bidder.
If it can go to a coin toss it can surely go to the lowest bidder.
What is wrong with this council?

Read the article again, the bids were to PAY the city to run the program, so you want the HIGHER bidder, and that's who won!

On the surface, this is comical. But if you consider that a coin flip is less subject to improper lobbying, undue pressure, illegal gifts and bribes, I would say a coin flip is better.
P.S. "F" Deerfield Beach Mayor Al Capellini and Weston city spokeswoman Denise Barrett. Deerfield is hundreds of times worse than Davie with their antics, and Weston is sooooo perfect, with their crazy mayor, commission, attorneys, and consultants.

YOU CAN BET THAT IF FLORIDA SWIM HAD BID ONE GRAND HIGHER THAN BOCA SWIM , THE COIN WOULD HAVE FELL ON THE OTHER SIDE. NO ONE BUT THE FLIPPER SAW THE FLIP. I SEE THE COURTS INVOLVED.

You have to be kidding !! Was this meeting held in the big top, three ringed circus ? If not, it should have been.

May have it backwards but the point is still the same. It COULD have cost thousands more with the toss of a coin.
I thought the bid process was more sophisticated like lowest/highest bidder, etc.

Yes and the Town Clowncil now known mostly for their comedy routine.
Mike Crowley must feel like he is in the twilite zone.

Legal or not aren't they obligated to save the town money?? Why chance it on a coin toss. If both companies were even then go with the highest bidder. That's more fair to EVERYONE than the toss of a coin.

Great question!

<quoted text> Typical Davie Logic. Just eliminate all bidding countywide. Perhaps use a drawing, such as picking names out of a hat or a lottery. Would do you expect from the minds of a town that hired Kovanes?

They are a real side show. All bids done by lottery. That's funny.
That'll be rigged too.

You do not need to watch television at night for all of the high drama ... just go to Davie and watch the Clowncil in action! Bring popcorn and be prepared to watch ... prime time, post prime time, late show, late late show ... and (sometimes) good morning_______. LOL
