handshake agreements

What does the COUNCIL have to say about these "handshake" agreements? Were they aware of them? If so, why did they approve a $200 a month pool rental by the City Manager? Did they do ANY due diligence in this matter? If they didnt know, WHY didnt they know? Is it NOT their job to supervise and oversee the actions of the City Manager? Isnt this just ANOTHER case of their carte blanche approach to the City Manager and the operations of the city? Does the Mayor and Council generally agree that handshakes are an acceptable method of doing the business of the City of Miami Springs? If yes, how long have they felt like that? Why have they NOT been on record as favoring handshakes for city business in the past? How many handshake agreements does the city have? Does anybody know? If not, why not? Are there ANY other areas of City business that has handshakes as a basis for doing that business? When and where did the Council approve of handshakes as a basis for doing city business? Did the City Attorney approve of this method? What did the City Attorney have to say about this whole topic? so many questions; so few answers.
