Commission update

Looks like the crash recovery fee will be repealed tonight.
Commissioners told the city attorney to draw up the ordinance repealing it and to give it to them at tonight's meeting.
Dotty and Scott want to repeal it. Remains to be seen if they have the third vote needed.
They may approve some other kind of fee. Something a lot less and more reasonable.

The water bill thing is also being debated, but may not come up tonight.
Skaters will be coming in again tonight. They are getting organized, no action is expected tonight at the commission meeting.

Seems to me after listening to all the info, the city needs to nix the whole crash recovery fee. Like we really need lawsuits in this economy on our city's hands.

"@Bytedaily...in other words, pure blackmail is what it sounds like to me.

@Lagonda...sounds like we already have a good lawyer, you. :)

Nope not me.

We have a good lawyer who is able to look out for the interests of the City, the citizens and the visitors to our community.

She just needs to do what she already knows that needs to be done.

This could be over this afternoon, if the right person were to muster up the courage and leadership.

There is strong legal basis to shut it down immediately.

Lagonda,

Why don't you show up at the meeting to argue for us? Seems like you have done the most research, and know the most about it. It would be your good deed for the year in my book.

Sorry. Don't want the direct personal attacks and eventual stalking of not remaining anonymous.

I can do more good by not going.

Just pay attention to the issues.
I'm certain that truth, honesty and good moral and Christian judgment will win out over sneakiness, lies, harassment and deception.

I've got confidence in the City Commission to do the right thing.

The only out-of-towner that deserves harsh and mean treatment in Ark City is CRC.

Today can be the day where Ark City sends a clear message to our neighbors in other towns that they are welcome to visit.

Come to town. We will treat you with respect and hospitality.

And, oh, by the way, I know a good place for a power drill or a cup of good coffee and home-made fudge.

Thanks Lagonda,
Ark City is still a fine place to call home.
Here, I would like to echo SG's comment of 9:45. Am sure you are would do us a swell job if you change your mind about going. If not, I understand.
Thank you.

anonymously as ever,
