color:#1F497D'>Thanks for the above comments. Would it be possible for
you to check in with the City to find out what’s going on, then? I’m
one of those who hasn’t received a single response to my questions –
I was planning on giving it a few more days, but with your comments above, it
would seem that there’s some problem. Clearly, some Council members
<b>are</b> getting at least some of the emails because Walter Steed (who has an
AOL addy) received and responded to Garrett’s email – Garrett responded
to to a V2020 post with questions I’d made where I included the mayor’s
and council members’ email addys (from the City Web site), so his post
went to me & V2020 and was cc’ed to the mayor and council members as
my original had done. I’ll note that while Mr. Steed has responded
to at least some inquiries including Garrett’s, he’s not responded
to mine – I’ve not gotten so much as an acknowledgment from the
mayor or any council member that my email was received, let alone any answers
to the questions I asked.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";

that ditches emails directly addressed to the mayor and council members, that’s
a problem that needs to be fixed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>Also, can you please clarify why it is some council members have
City email addys while some don’t? I noticed when I got the email
addys from the Web site that Nancy Chaney, Bill Lambert, Wayne Krauss, and you
have City email addys while Tom Lamar, Walter Steed, and John Weber have non-city
email addys. It’s not something I’d even be curious about but
for the fact you’re indicating that your City email addy isn’t
receiving at least some emails sent to you.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";
color:maroon'>1. I felt that protracted litigation would have cost
hundreds of thousands of dollars. I would much rather spend that money on
paving our gravel streets, building sidewalks, and possibly even investing in
the affordable housing fund that was brought forward by Rick Beebe, plus
some plans our Affordable Housing Commission is going to bring forward in the
future. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";
color:maroon'>2. We are going to be able to charge a premium rate for the
water. If Hawkins chooses to buy sewer service, we can charge a
premium rate for it as well. When treated effluent becomes available, we
can charge for it as well (the University of Idaho currently uses it for
free). It is my hope that we can take that which we make off of the
development and put it into a fund to facilitate the exploration of
alternative sources of water.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";
color:maroon'>3. In talking with Walter Steed, he said that Steve
Robischon from PBAC says that we will see a net *decrease* in water drawn
from the aquifer if we have municipal control over it rather than letting
Hawkins drill their wells as they wish.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";
color:maroon'>4. I did see this development as an inevitability, since
the Whitman County Commissioners are doing all they can to make this
happen. I would much rather see us sell the water to Hawkins, have the
control over it, and get paid for it instead of the City of Pullman piping
water all the way through the corridor, thereby increasing the chance of
further development through there, or allowing Hawkins to drill a well and have
no commitment from them regarding conservation. This will at least slow
things down a bit.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";
color:maroon'>5. Regarding the "secrecy of the deal": We
were playing the cards we were dealt. The mayor and our attorney did a
good job of selling us the idea of mediation, so we entered into it trying to
get the best we could for the city. I commend the mayor and councilmen
Krauss and Steed for their efforts.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";
color:maroon'>6. I know some people out there that levy
the charge that big box stores will harm local businesses. What I
see in Moscow that's different is that we have an eclectic mix of small
retailers that I don't believe will be hurt by big box stores. I am not
going to go to Wal Mart to get the things I would get at Hyperspud, for
example. The same thing goes for Marco Polo Imports, Paradise Creek
Bicycles, or even the Camas Prairie Winery. I also believe, after hearing
from Tri-State's Gerard Connelley during the recent "Buy Local"
forum, that some new businesses will bring customers from other areas to shop
at our existing businesses. Gerard even said that his best day was the
day Wal Mart opened, and that he hasn't had a down month since they did.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";
color:maroon'>7. I know item 7 is a "hard pill to swallow", but
there is always give and take in mediation. We *do* have the right to
protest things that may be a nuisance (stinky effluent ponds, for example) or
public safety issues.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

them. I know there won't be a lot of agreement as to what has been done,
