The Harassment continues
This is the kind of ‘stuff’ Bruce Danielson has to put up with from his neighbors. He shot this photo last night of one of his neighbors charging him with her car and screaming at him, an almost daily occurrence. And of course the city enables it by allowing his neighbors to use city resources to harass him with supposed code violations.
SF Central Services and Risk management doesn’t bother sharing their drone policies with the City Council
This goes back to what I have been saying all along about the administration lacking transparency with the council and public. The departments make up their own rules and don’t bother sharing them with our city legislative body;
Central services staff came up with a set of policies for the drone, which was reviewed by the risk management department.
So not only did they go buy a ‘toy’ without council approval and checking FAA rules, they came up with their own set of rules. That’s like saying since I own my car, I can drive it as fast as I want to.
Before the drone goes back in commission, the city council needs to review all of the rules and policies pertaining to it’s usage.
Was the mayor’s trip to Williston, ND official business?
Many people have been asking what the purpose of the mayor’s trip to Williston, ND? Did he do this out of the kindness of his heart to help out a fellow Dakota city? Maybe.
But then I saw this story on Stormland TV, and it got my wheels turning;
Williston Development Director, Tom Rolfstad, says there’s a lot to be learned from Sioux Falls. One of the biggest issues he’s noticed back home, is keeping up with a continual flow of new workers coming to town.
“We’re finding the people, but it’s finding the housing for the people. to grow your whole community as fast as it is coming is the struggle,” Rolfstad said.
That’s something Craig Lloyd of Lloyd Companies knows a thing or two about. Lloyd helped show-off some of the ways Sioux Falls has grown and improved, including the downtown area.
So under the guise of ‘helping out’ and ‘advice’ Mr. Lloyd and Mayor Huether claim they are doing this as a ‘learning’ experience. Okay, I will play along.
Remember something, Lloyd has taken advantage of TIF’s and affordable housing grants in Sioux Falls greatly to build housing in Sioux Falls. Also remember that the Mayor and his ‘beautiful bride’ Cindy have invested in housing projects in Sioux Falls. And one more thing, there are already developers from the Sioux Falls area developing in North Dakota.
So I ask the question, are Lloyd and Huether helping out a fellow ‘Boomtown’ out of the goodness of their hearts OR are their hearts attached to their wallets?
Would be interesting to see who is taking out building permits in Williston for housing.
