In 2002, when...Who recalls the following occasion?<br /><br />In 2002, when a former mayor assisted the Colarusso company with a lease from the City of the City-owned Becraft Mountain property, residents showed up at a Regular Meeting of the Common Council to protest. They had based their criticisms on a draft of the lease, which was discussed at the Informal Meeting a week earlier.<br /><br />In the meantime, the lawyers had rewritten the lease, only they hadn't finished printing it for the Aldermen to have an actual document to vote on.<br /><br />To buy time, the mayor called for an unprecedented "intermission" of the Council meeting, which was duly granted.<br /><br />When the printing was done, and the three-inch thick document was distributed in the Council Chamber, the Aldermen didn't even look at - and certainly the public couldn't seen it - before the Council members gave it their immediate and hearty endorsement.<br /><br />Today - 14 years later - the 2002 lease is being studied to understand what a former Council mindlessly gave away. <br /><br />The 2002 lease is being scrutinized because of the logging operation now underway on Becraft. Logging is not mentioned in the lease, and satellite photographs suggest that the new operation is not mining-related.<br /><br />Is the company abusing its lease to sell off our City-owned resources? <br /><br />Point being, if there isn't some rule which prevents a vote on legislation that's not first introduced at the Informal Meeting, then there should be. (An emergency vote related to an actual emergency can be accommodated with the right technical language.) <br /><br />The terrible momentum of cronyism has plagued this City since its founding, concealing legions of tiny corruptions which are ever in the service of special interests.<br /><br />Why do we accept this?! <br /><br />Why don't The People say NO!unheimlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204285837938988668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-10636564915409435522016-02-17T08:06:19.818-05:002016-02-17T08:06:19.818-05:00I am most certain this will become yet another &qu...I am most certain this will become yet another "no bid contract for Crawford Associates"Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548912912359709568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-80384387684114329632016-02-17T07:14:19.801-05:002016-02-17T07:14:19.801-05:00"developed plans" are those draw up by D..."developed plans" are those draw up by DPW superintendent Rob Perry "<br /><br />Since when did Rob Perry earn his engineering degree to take on this dastardly plan ?Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548912912359709568noreply@blogger.com
