I will let you watch the informational meeting about all the details of the ‘resolution’ process. But a few things are disconcerting, and quite frankly abhorrent;
1) The city rejected the work May 1 and has waited almost 3 months before sharing it with the public and most importantly, the city council.
2) City attorney is STILL refusing to share the consultants ‘impressions’ report with the council and public and media.
3) We will take ownership of the building August 1, and the siding resolution will not be resolved at that time
4) When councilor Staggers asked if the city and public will be on the hook for the fix of the siding, the city attorney could not give an answer
Folks, this is what happens when there is a clear lack of transparency in government. Why couldn’t the council or public be told there was a ‘resolution’ process? When government is not transparent with the public there is a clear appearance of corruption. Not saying anything corrupt is going on, but the appearance is clearly there. Crystal.
Wonder what other ‘secrets’ are being withheld from the public?
I truly believe if councilor Rolfing would not have asked the question back on May 27, the public would still be in the dark on this issue.
A sad, sad, day in transparency in city government in Sioux Falls. In fact, I feel like I have just been punched in the eye.
