After all the hoopla about transparency over the $25 million bond for a city administration building, you would think the administration would get the picture about transparency. They still don’t have a clue;
Details of the proposals aren’t public, but the city plans to contribute as much as $17.9 million for the project, which city planners hope to break ground on next year.
“Once a selection has been made, and we have an executed contract, we can share more information,†said Scott Rust, purchasing manager for the city.
The developers aren’t talking either, saying they are bound by a confidentiality agreement included in the city’s RFQ.
What!? You are going to spend $17.9 million of our money and you cannot share the details until AFTER a contract is cut? Not only are they NOT filling us in on the proposals they don’t even want to share details of a contract.
And they wonder why almost 6,500 people signed the petition.
