[Vision2020] Steed still selling Moscow water?

[Tom Hansen]

Thanks for bringing this up.

Your attention is invited to

1)  Washington Water Permit Appeals, Mediation and Potential Settlement 
http://www.moscowcares.com/Topic_Washington_Water_Permit_Hawkins_Mall.htm

Presented in encapsulated format are links to videos of public discussion 
concerning this matter.  The time-frame of these discussions covers 
February 4, 2008 thru March 17, 2008 (what I like to refer to as the "eye 
of the storm")

2)  Public Forum on Hawkins Companies/Water Rights Agreement
(March 4, 2008)

http://www.moscowcares.com/Hawkins_Water_Panel_030408.htm

Of unique interest, during this public discussion, was Councilor Krauss' 
response to a question submitted by a member of the audience (near thed 
end).  The audience member asked, in words to the affect, "Since the city 
council was not provided sufficient notice by Hawkins Companies [for the 
contract meeting in Spokane] (a claim repeated by Councilor Krauss several 
times), why didn't they [the city council] request a continuance."  At 
that time, Councilor Krauss asked Mayor Chaney (who was in the audience), 
(again) in words to the affect, "Could we have done that?"  To which Mayor 
Chaney responded, in words to the affect, "I don't know.  Maybe."

Councilor Krauss then proceeded to inform those in attendance (in what can 
only be characterized as a "Say What?" moment), in words to the 
affect, "Hey, most of us here on the city council have second jobs.  We 
can't simply drop everything and run off to Spokane."  Translation:  I 
don't have time to serve the people of Moscow.

3)  The Agreement

4)  Draft Intergovernmental Agreement With Whitman County 
(June 23, 2008)

5)  City council discussion concerning pursuing contractual agreements 
with Hawkins COmpanies

In closing, if our city council cannot actively support its constituents 
maybe we need more . . .

PS to our City Council -  What are the city code requirements concerning 
backyard lighting on a private residence?  How close can the light 
fixtures be to the perimeter?  How large can the light fixture be?  What 
are the wattage limitations of such lighting.  I promised a friend that I 
would look into this for them.  Thank you.
