The Bunnell City Commission meets at 7 p.m. at Bunnell City Hall, at the Government Services Building, 1769 East Moody Boulevard, Bunnell, where the City Commission is holding its meetings until it is able to occupy its own City Hall on Commerce Parkway likely in early 2023. The commission tonight will create its charter review committee, which is required every five years. A hot topic: whether to split Bunnell into voting districts, rather than elect all commission members at large. The commission will also consider a proposal to hand over all major case investigations to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office. The arrangement would entail the sheriff granting one of its detectives to Bunnell on major cases, for $120,000 a year. To join by Zoom, go to http://bunnellcity.us/meeting.

“Einstein classified scientists very well during the celebration of Max Planck’s sixtieth birthday in 1918. In the temple of science, he said, are three kinds of people. Many take to science out of a joyful sense of their superior intellectual power; for them, research is a kind of sport that satisfies personal ambition. A second class of researchers engages in science to achieve purely utilitarian ends. But of the third: If “the angel of the Lord were to come and drive all the people belonging to these two categories out of the temple, a few people would be left, including Planck, and that is why we love him.””
–From Edward O. Wilson, “Consilience” (1998).
