SF City Council Sioux Falls

Interesting timing of Executive Session

l3wis 4Comments

Imagine my surprise when I saw a scheduled executive session right after the mayor’s budget address. The mayor’s office has requested a special media session on Monday at 2:30 PM to answer questions about the budget because on Tuesday he will have NO time after the address to answer questions. The press conference will be held by his Deputy COS and COS (the mayor will not be present). They must be expecting a LONG executive session.

I have no idea what the session is about, but after talking to some people who have media connections the rumor going around is that the council will be discussing the DT Parking Ramp fiasco.

Hopefully we will know more soon.

Some Sioux Falls City Councilors are saying they didn’t know Legacy lied to them

It’s hardly worth re-publishing, but according to the Argus, some councilors were unaware that Legacy was so closely tied to Hultgren construction.

Give me a F’ing Break!

It was blatantly obvious that they were two in the same when we saw the haggling over the LLC’s and the asbestos removal. Ignorance is NO excuse. Several in the public knew about the relationship between Legacy and Hultgren, and I find it extremely hard to believe that people on the council, people in the planning department and the mayor didn’t know the relationship was extremely cozy.

IMO, the lying is breach of contract and I would stop construction immediately. I would have it rebid to build a stand alone parking ramp (that we can actually use and has more spaces) and if someone with their OWN money wants to develop next to it and lease space (parking and land) so be it, but moving forward NOW after this has come to light is almost criminal towards the taxpayers. Doing nothing is unacceptable!
