Two weeks ago four Sioux Falls city councilors and the mayor (broke tie) to hire a construction manager at risk for a new proposed administration building. The problem is, besides an empty lot next to a porn shop that the city owns, there is no architectural drawings, no budget and no real plan. In layman’s terms, four city councilor’s and the mayor are getting the cart in front of the horse. If you owned a business and wanted to expand or were building your own home you would budget first for a project before hiring a contractor. You would draw up plans and financial timeline. That’s common sense. This is a replay of the indoor pool all over again. The citizens voted down an OUTDOOR pool, that’s it, then a couple of weeks later we were full steam ahead on an indoor pool. This kind of piss poor planning has to end.
